Learning Outside the Classroom!
NCCS students participate in several field trips throughout the year. Experiences outside routine classroom learning are essential for teaching the whole child. Offering a multitude of benefits, our field trips:
- solidify a student's understanding of concepts in real-world situations
- develop a student's social skills through collaborative activities, discussions, and interactions with new people
- encourage curiosity
- promote critical thinking
- expose students to diverse cultures, environments, and perspectives
- nurture empathy and inspire a passion for learning
Examples of our field trip adventures:
- The Museum of Natural History (Washington DC)
- Gaver Farms (Mount Airy, MD)
- Seneca Schoolhouse (Poolesville, MD)
- Captain Family Farms (Westminster, MD)
- Players Fun Zone / Mentor-Mentee field trip (Westminster, MD)
- Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, (Baltimore, MD)
- Arts on Stage (Hampstead, MD)
- Fire Museum of Maryland (Lutherville, MD)
- BizTown (Owings Mills, MD)
- Utz Factory (Hanover, PA)
