Field Study

At St. Bonaventure Catholic School, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Through thoughtfully designed field study trips, students engage in hands-on, experiential learning that brings lessons to life in meaningful ways. From exploring museums, zoos, aquariums, and science centers to discovering the beauty of natural environments, students encounter resources and experiences that simply cannot be replicated in textbooks. These opportunities spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and inspire real-world connections that motivate students to excel academically.

Every grade level enjoys local experiences that complement classroom learning, while our upper grades participate in extended, academically rich trips that build both knowledge and life skills. Signature experiences include 6th grade’s Science Camp, 7th grade’s Science Exploration, and 8th grade’s East Coast Discovery, where students walk in the footsteps of history in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Gettysburg. Together, these journeys help our students grow as curious learners, confident leaders, and faithful stewards of the world around them.
