Field Trips

Field trips are an essential part of the Veritas curriculum. Our studies in History, Science and Art, for example, often need to be expanded and examined using the broader perspective provided by out of the classroom experiences. Some of our past field trips have included the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Cahoon Museum of American Art, the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow National Historic Site, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Trinity Church in Copley Square, the Boston Public Library,  the Higgins Armory Museum, the Museum of Science, Boston, the Harvard Museum of Natural History,  the Hoxie House,  the Thornton Burgess Museum and Nature Center,  the Boston Symphony Orchestra,  Plimouth Plantation,  the New Bedford Whaling Museum,  the Lexington and Concord Bridge,  the Old Ironsides: USS Contstitution Museum,  the Adams National Historic Park,  Nashoba Valley apple picking, the Coonamessett Farm,  and treks through the many and varied ecosystems of beautiful Cape Cod.

Students are expected to be active participants during these trips. Field notes are taken, sketchpads are always utilized, and questions are encouraged as part of the necessary experiential learning process.
