One special part of a child's education at Whittier Christian Schools is grade level field trips. These trips provide a special connection with the curriculum they have been studying. Along with their teachers, Administrator, and parent chaperones, students visit and experience science and history with a hands-on learning experience.
Beginning in third grade, students venture out in field trips a little further and head on a train to San Diego to visit the zoo. This is a very fun trip for the students as they learn about the various animals and their homes.
Cost for the trip is approx. $90 per participant which includes all admissions and train fare.
Our Fourth graders are thrilled by their 3-day trip to Sacramento and San Francisco, enhancing their study of California history. They travel by air to Sacramento, and then board busses for tours of Sutter's Fort, pan for gold in the American River at Coloma, visit the State Capitol, the Railroad Museum, and have a chance to shop in Old Town Sacramento. After spending 1 1/2 days in Sacramento, we stop at the Jelly Belly Factory on our way to San Francisco to visit Alcatraz, enjoy a cable car ride, eat and shop at Pier 39, and experience the wonders of science at the Exploratorium.
Cost for the trip, including airfare is approx. $600 per participant.*
