Field Trips

Each grade level takes a field trip twice during the school year. At the beginning of each year, there is a bonding trip. Students play games, attend chapel services, and not only renew friendships but make new friends. The upper-level science classes travel to the coast every other year to take a field trip with Carolina Ocean Studies. Other science trips are taken as well. History and government classes visit local historical sites and the Capital. Plays, movies, and literature-based locations are also visited for educational purposes.
