[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure if the school I'm looking for actually exists - an outdoor-focused learning environment (kind of like Burgandy in Alexandria) but in DC proper. Strong preference for close to the Park (for commuting reasons). I am moving to DC with a kindergartener and have no interest in it being elite or anything like that. Thanks![/quote]

Capitol Hill Day School sounds like what you are looking for. They have a Field Education program. The kids go on at least one field trip a week according to whatever they are studying at the time. Capitol Hill is about at DC proper as you can get. [/quote]

CHDS is a fantastic program.  Their field education is wonderful, but I'm assuming OP means outdoors in terms of outside in nature, not just outside of school.  Many of the CHDS field trips are to other inside locations, and during those weeks the kids aren't getting a lot of exposure to nature, as they're playing on very typical urban playgrounds.
