Overnight Field Studies
Beginning in fourth grade, your child is able to participate in overnight field studies. Younger grades have stayed close to home, for instance taking part in outdoor adventure programs in Santa Barbara. Older students tend to travel further. As an example, our eighth graders have traveled to Nicaragua and participated in service learning opportunities with local schools. Fees for these trips are as follows:
Grades 4-7 $450 (approximate)
Grade 8 $2,000 (approximate)
Reservation Deposit
This is a non-refundable $2,000 deposit, per student, that is applied to the total cost of tuition and fees. The amount of the deposit is reduced if the student received a financial assistance award.
