Learning in the World

Some of the most unforgettable learning happens out in the world.

From local landmarks to national parks to the streets of Jerusalem, students venture out to meet new people, encounter big ideas, and see their studies come to life.

 

Beyond the Classroom Walls

Field trips are not only a break from routine. They also offer opportunities to deepen understanding, build empathy, and put lessons into practice. Whether students are exploring museum galleries, walking historic neighborhoods, or volunteering in the community, these moments enable broader perpectives and create lasting memories.

Grade-Level Adventures

Each grade level embarks on a series of trips tied to what they’re learning in the classroom.

They’re thoughtfully connected to curriculum themes, Jewish values, and the communities around us. Students come away with lasting memories, deeper understanding, and a stronger sense of connection to the world.

Nature & Environment

Visits to places like TreePeople and Underwood Family Farms give students hands-on experiences with sustainability, ecology, and caring for the earth. They learn that Jewish values call us to protect and preserve the natural world.

History & Heritage

Trips to the Skirball Cultural Center, Leonis Adobe Mission, Chinese American Museum, Watts Towers, and San Fernando Mission bring history to life. Students see how different cultures and traditions have shaped Los Angeles, building respect for diverse perspectives.

Social Responsibility

Experiences with organizations like PATH (People Assisting the Homeless), Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles (OBKLA), Karsh Center, and Aidan’s Place cultivate empathy and civic responsibility. Students understand that they can make a difference in their community.

Arts & Culture

Visits to the Blue Ribbon Music Festival, LACMA, Morgan Wixson Theater, Discovery Cube, and the Grammy Museum inspire creativity and expose students to world-class art. They see how artistic expression connects to identity, culture, and community.

Jewish Values

Journeys to the Museum of Tolerance, Skirball Center, and LAMOTH (Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust) help students wrestle with history, morality, and resilience, deepening their sense of Jewish identity and responsibility to build a more just world.

Overnight and Travel Experiences

Beginning in Grade 4, students pack their bags and head out on overnight trips that build independence, new friendships, and self-assurance.

Each journey is tied to what they are learning in the classroom, bringing curriculum to life through hands-on experiences, cultural exploration, and Jewish values in action. Whether they’re navigating the state capitol or hiking through the Negev, students return with a broader sense of the world and their place in it. 

Grade 4

Sacramento

Students bring California history to life as they explore gold mines, tour historic towns, and learn about the stories that defined our state, all while building independence on their first overnight trip.

Grade 5

Boston

From Plymouth Rock to the American Revolution, students walk through centuries of history, connecting past to present and deepening their understanding of democracy and Jewish identity.

Grade 5

Astrocamp

Students dive into hands-on STEM learning, from lab experiments to astronomy under the night sky at this state-of-the-art camp. Through team-building and community challenges, they build confidence and cooperation.

Grade 6

Israel

Students immerse themselves in Jewish history, culture, and traditions through hands-on experiences in Israel and at home, forming a powerful sense of their heritage and their bond with one another.

 

On-Campus Enrichment & Guest Speakers

Not every adventure requires a bus ride. Throughout the year, students engage with experts and programs that bring inspiration and real-world relevance into the classroom. These experiences connect directly to what they’re learning, making curriculum come alive.
