Outdoor Education
The Wesley Outdoor Education Program has expanded, and we are excited to share the details and the thinking behind its development with you.
The outdoor education program includes day trips for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, 6th and 7th grade fall and spring trips based on team building and leadership, an 8th grade fall trip, and a culminating 8th grade trip to London the week prior to spring break. This trip augments elements of the English curriculum, specifically Shakespeare, and provides those students who attend with a remarkable experience, one that enhances their participation in our 8th grade program both socially and academically.
Trips such as these, that grow out of the school curriculum, allow teachers the opportunity to incorporate the pending experience into their teaching, providing a remarkable opportunity for applying learned information, building independence, creating global awareness, forming even stronger friendship bonds, and providing new venues for cognitive development through authentic experiences. All these programs are included in tuition.
We hope you share our enthusiasm for these experiential enhancements.
