Field Trips 

Learning “beyond the classroom” is an integral part of the school curriculum and all students are involved in field trips. At NIST, Field trips are included in the tuition fees and are not charged as an extra fee (with the exception of the Secondary Ski trip).

Early Years & Elementary

In the Elementary school, there is at least one field trip incorporated into each unit of inquiry. Parental help is valued, and teachers may ask for suggestions and volunteers.

Secondary

All Year 7-11 students are expected to participate in the “Week on the Wild Side” field trips that take place in early December. Throughout the school year, there are also a number of other field trips that support curriculum work and student development. If your son/ daughter is going on a field trip that involves leaving school, you will be expected to sign a permission slip attached to the bottom of an information letter or an overnight stay form.
