Lower School Trips
Students in kindergarten through third grade experience day trips that integrate with the theme for the year. Students in fourth and fifth grades go on three day/two night trips in the spring, as well as participating in day trips throughout the year.
Some examples of field trips in the lower school include:

- Second grade to the Wenham Museum, Plimoth Plantation, and the Harvard Museum of Natural History.
- Third grade to Smolak Farm, Salem Pioneer Village, Boston’s North End and State House, and the Higgins Armory in Worcester.
- Fourth grade to Crane Beach, the Sea Coast Science Center, Gloucester, Eastern Point Lighthouse and Coast Guard Station, and a three day trip to Mystic Seaport.
- Fifth grade to the public library, Halibut Point in Gloucester, a tour of the north shore to study geology, the Museum of Natural History, and a three day trip to Camp Chewonki in Maine.
