Fridays’ Field Trips

St. Paul’s School invites kindergarten through second grade homeschooled students to participate in St. Paul’s School K-2 Field Trips.

St. Paul’s School has tentatively planned to provide two field trips each month. The second Friday of each month the field trip would be within the boundaries of Prince William County. The fourth Friday would explore areas outside of our county.

On the first and third Friday of the month the children will prepare for the field trip by reading and researching the specific subject matter they will be learning on the field trip.
