Latin classes are offered weekly to all students grade 4 and above and the Junior High class is continuing their study of Italian after their odyssey trip to Italy in the spring of 2024. |

Skiing |
We ski and snowboard every year at Ragged
Mountain in Danbury for 5 Fridays. Parents are encouraged to come to ski as well! We have lessons in the morning and then ski for the rest of the day. Skiing is a great opportunity for the children to exercise their independence, responsibility, and sense of accomplishment. It is amazing to watch how quickly the students become great skiers.

The Preschool students take 2 major trips in the school year; a trip to an apple orchard, and in the spring, a trip to a maple sugaring farm. During the preschool summer
camp, field trips are taken weekly.
The Elementary students take many field trips throughout the year to complement the curriculum and the interests of the students. There is also an annual overnight camping trip for all Elementary students. The Jr. High has an Odyssey trip in the Spring (England, Iceland, Italy, NYC, Montreal, Quebec, Washington, DC, USA Road Trip are some of our adventures). |
