expand your learning with real world adventures

We understand that field trips are an essential part of a student’s Personalized Learning Plan, so at Lake View, we don’t just offer them—we’ve built a Field Trip Program. Designed to bring learning to life outside the homeschool classroom, field trips deepen students’ understanding and provide a tangible connection to the world around them. A cornerstone of our approach to individualized learning, field trips offer real-world experiences that enhance academic lessons and engage students in new and exciting ways.
 

Our Field Trip Program Coordinators ensure each trip aligns with core content standards that support both academic and social development. Together, they create a yearlong field trip plan that balances locations, areas of study, and educational value, ensuring that every student—from TK through high school—has access to meaningful experiences that can enrich their unique learning path.

School-sponsored Field Trips

For families who prefer a more organized approach, our school-sponsored field trips are the perfect choice. These trips are carefully planned, organized, and hosted by our dedicated staff members, ensuring every detail is covered. From exploring historic mines to whale watching, visiting museums, and attending live plays, students connect with their studies, making learning both memorable and impactful. Simply register, show up, and enjoy a hassle-free, enriching experience with your child!

family-led field trips

For families who prefer more flexibility, we offer the option to use instructional funding to purchase tickets for local attractions such as zoos, museums, and historical sites. This allows families to plan trips that align with their child’s learning needs, interests, and schedules. Whether you’re exploring the rich diversity of Northern California or tailoring learning experiences to fit your family’s routine, these trips provide a unique and engaging way to enhance education on your own terms.

Program Sponsored field trips

Developed in partnership with Adventure Academy, Sequoia Studio, and the Virtual Academy Program, program-sponsored field trips offer students the unique opportunity to engage in hands-on learning alongside their teacher and peers. These trips help students connect real-world experiences with the lessons and topics covered in each course. Whether exploring nature, history, or art, these immersive experiences deepen their understanding and provide opportunities for engagement that go beyond a class setting.
