Field trips expand a child’s experience through a variety of out of school opportunities. The Primary Years Program makes field trips are an integral part of the units of inquiry studied throughout the year. Therefore throughout the year your child will be required to visit a number of places like factories, farms, villages, offices, the train station, Tel Hadya, etc. to enrich their understanding of the central ideas of the units.

At the beginning of the school year a general permission slip will be signed by parents. This informs the school that parents support our field trip program. It allows us to take brief visits to sites in the school vicinity as needed without a specific permission form. For field trips which require transport to sites around Aleppo and farther parents will be given detailed information and are required to sign a permission form for their child to participate. Only students whose parents have signed the permission slip and returned it to the classroom teacher by the scheduled date will be allowed to attend. Overnight trips may occasionally be arranged for older students, in which case a special permission slip will be sent home.
