FIELD TRIPS

Lower School Montessori
The Casa children go on two excursions off campus. (i.e. a farm and Center Island) In addition, special guests come into the school to speak and do demonstrations for the children. (i.e. TSO, Lenny Graf, Fire Dept, Police, Humane Society etc.)

Upper School Montessori
In an effort to bring the children’s experiences to "life", field trips are incorporated into many of the children’s studies. Trips include: The Science Centre, ROM, AGO, Theatre, Library and The Mulmur Montessori Outdoor Centre.
