Field Trips

Field Trips are designed to supplement and enrich the classroom curriculum.  Field trips generally fall into three broad categories:

Living History: Past examples include; the Fourth grade overnight trip to Coloma, the Third grade trip to the one room schoolhouse in Woodland and the Fifth grade trip to a reenactment of a Civil War battlefield.

Art and Culture: Saint James School benefits from its close proximity to the UC Davis Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts.  Students have the opportunity to be exposed to a wide array of national and international music, dance and theater groups. In addition, students visit galleries in the Sacramento and Davis areas.

Curriculum Related: Prime examples are the weeklong Sixth grade Outdoor Education trip to Walker Creek Ranch in Marin County, the kindergarten trip to the Sacramento Zoo and excursions to local farms.
