Enrichment at Almaden Country School reaches far beyond our classroom walls!
Children bring a mix of learning styles, interests and aptitudes to the classroom, and studies demonstrate that one to the best ways to make learning relevant for students is to provide real-life experiences they connect with new knowledge. This is why ACS provides a multitude of field trips and on- and off-campus adventures for our students. We believe strongly in offering exciting, memorable hands-on learning opportunities through our supervised field trip programs.
Starting in fourth grade, the concept of the field trip rises to a new level as students journey on extended overnight trips that challenge them, strengthen their bonds with classmates, teachers, and parents, and require increasing degrees of independence and growth as they move through our program.
Take a look at the drop-down Experiential Learning menu to review our exciting Field Trip and EDGE Day descriptions.
