Experiential Learning

Geneva School enjoys the distinct privilege of being located in the heart of Manhattan, a city replete with brilliant architecture, world-class museums, and a wide array of art, music, and culture.

Naturally, we take advantage of the opportunities provided by living in a global city center. Each class takes two field trips each month and enjoys school-wide field trips twice a year. Field trips are planned by the classroom teacher to correspond to the particular field of study and curriculum. For instance, Second Grade students studying Egyptian history will visit the renowned Egyptian collection at the Brooklyn Museum, and Fourth Grade students studying medieval art and architecture will visit the famous medieval art collections at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Upper School students are able to explore beyond the boundaries of New York City. Fifth and Sixth Grade students, in their study of American history, visit Philadelphia. Seventh and Eighth Grade students enjoy extended trips to Washington, DC as a culmination of their studies in United States history.
