Field Trips and Goings Out

FIELD TRIPS

Elementary students at our Montessori schools in Alexandria, VA are at an age where they are ready to explore the whole universe. Our students venture forth in the community to visit the world-class venues that Alexandria and the Washington, D.C. area have to offer such as the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian museums. We have two large capacity vans that transport our students in comfort to their destinations. Parents enjoy serving as chaperones for these adventures at both our Mount Vernon (Aquinas Montessori) and Old Town (Columbus Street) campuses.

GOINGS OUT

Our Elementary Montessori students in Alexandria (ages 6–12) are ready to learn to manage common day-to-day tasks in the larger community. They arrange goings out to purchase supplies for class pets, groceries for class cooking projects, community service projects, and small group research outings. These outings provide them with opportunities to gain experience, knowledge, and confidence when they communicate with community members outside of the school setting. Students from both Aquinas Montessori School in Mount Vernon and Old Town Montessori School in Alexandria participate in these meaningful community experiences.
