Field Trips at STARS Global Prep

At STARS Global Prep, we believe that the world outside our classrooms is filled with opportunities for hands-on learning and growth. This is why we’re so excited about our field trip program! 

The Value of Field Trips and Experiential Learning

Field trips are not just fun days outside the school; they are meticulously planned experiences that extend our curriculum into the real world. Here’s why they are invaluable:

Immersive Learning:

Students get to see, touch, and interact with the subject of study in a real-world setting, making learning tangible and memorable.

Broadened Perspectives:

By stepping out of their regular routines, students can view the world from different angles, promoting critical thinking and empathy.

Skill Development:

Beyond academic knowledge, field trips nurture essential life skills such as teamwork, observation, and adaptability.

Field Trip Safety

The safety of our students is our top priority. Here’s how we ensure it:

Vetted Destinations:

We only choose destinations that meet our stringent safety criteria.

Trained Supervisors:

Our staff and chaperones are trained in first aid, child safety, and emergency procedures.

Regular Check-ins:

Throughout the trip, students are accounted for at regular intervals.

Field Trip Attire

Dressing appropriately is key to ensuring that students can enjoy the trip to its fullest:

Comfortable Clothing:

We recommend loose-fitting, weather-appropriate attire.  

Footwear:

Closed-toed shoes are a must, ensuring feet are protected and comfortable.

School ID:

Every student should wear their school ID badge prominently.

Best Practices for Parents

Parents, we appreciate your support! Here’s how you can help ensure your child gets the best out of every field trip:

Pre-Trip Discussion:

Talk to your child about the trip’s objectives and what they’re excited about. This helps set the right mindset.  

Punctuality:

Please ensure your child arrives at school on time on field trip days. This helps us stick to our schedule and maximizes learning time.  

Emergency Contacts:

Ensure that the school has up-to-date contact information in case of emergencies.

Dietary Needs:

If your child has special dietary needs or allergies, please remind their teacher a few days before the trip.

At STARS Global Prep, we’re passionate about expanding horizons through experiential learning. With every field trip, we aim to open a new world of understanding and wonder for our students. Together, let’s make learning an adventure!
