[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I suspect the confusion is that someone in the school goes on a field trip every day, but each student only goes about once a week or so; PP, I can see how a child would find every day overwhelming!  Our DC went there for middle school and loved it (in middle school!)  and was very prepared for HS.  Can't say enough good things about it. [/quote]

Yes, this PP is correct.  There are field trips happening every day (or almost every day), but an each individual class is not going on a trip every day.  That would be nearly impossible from a logistical standpoint![/quote]

These are also field trips that are closely tied to the curriculum. Some can be quite short, others longer. They might go to a museum to see a few pieces relating to what they are studying. Or they might go to the arboretum to look at varieties of trees. They might go to the Folger Library to understand some aspect of Shakespeare. Some are in school - with visiting speakers.  The kids get so used to them it's not a disruption and doesn't create overexcitement for the kids.

My kids really loved CHDS and the field education program was a big part of it. They are in HS/college now and still talk about some of the field trips and, more importantly, what they learned on the trips.[/quote]
