Beyond the Classroom

International Book Sharing Project

In this unique program, sixth grade students read the same book as students at a school in Israel, using technology to communicate with the Israeli students. Eighth graders have the opportunity to meet these students when they travel to Israel for their two-and-a-half-week trip.

Trips

  • Fourth Grade: Group Dynamix
  • Fifth Grade: Group Dynamix, Sky Ranch (two days/one night)
  • Sixth Grade: Historic Texas trip (four days) which ties into the study of government and Texas history
  • Seventh Grade: Washington, D.C., and New York (eight days)
  • Eighth Grade: Israel Trip (two-and-a-half weeks)

Outdoor Education

Students participate in ropes challenge courses to learn teamwork, leadership skills, and focus on mind/body connections.
