Learning Beyond the Classroom

Experiential learning and overnight trips are some of the most impactful and memorable experiences for our students. This year brought back many opportunities for our students to learn and bond outside the classroom.

PS to G5

Students from PS to G5 got an up close and hands-on look at wacky and wild science experiments, courtesy of Mad Science. Thanks to our Fund for the Future donors for making this possible.

G4: Redwoods in Occidental

The G4 class went on an adventure into the Redwoods in Occidental! Between bonding and exploring the natural world around them, they learned about the skeletal structure and the unique fur of a coyote.

G5: Exploring Northern California

Our G5 students had a blast visiting redwoods in Mendocino county and Pigeon Point last year, exploring the shoreline and the forest!

LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM

G6: Science in Catalina

G6 students snorkeled and kayaked their way around Catalina Island, getting to know the flora and fauna better. They participated in some living lab sessions with on-site guides and instructors.

G7: History in Our Nation’s Capital

Our students visited Washington DC, walking and living through U.S. history! They visited major landmarks near Capitol Hill, and visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

G8: Discovering New Orleans

Our G8 students enjoyed one of their last experiential learning trips at EB in New Orleans. They explored the Bayou, walked around the Vieux Carré (French District), and learned the historical significance of Mardi Gras.
