Field Trips That Expand Learning & Broaden Horizons
At The Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School, we believe in the power of connections. That’s why we go beyond the screen to organize exciting field trips throughout the year, both near and far. These trips aren’t just educational—they’re adventures for the whole family! From science centers to national monuments, students get to meet peers and PALCS faculty while diving into fascinating experiences that ignite their curiosity.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! We’re all about embracing the arts and culture, too. Join us for plays, symphonies, ballets, and even Renaissance Faires! PALCS students don’t just watch from the sidelines; they immerse themselves in the vibrant world of creativity and talent.
For those who are wild about animals and biology, PALCS had you covered! Students embarked on thrilling adventures to zoos, both big and small, from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia and beyond. These trips weren’t just about seeing exotic animals—they were about learning, conservation, and preserving endangered species, immersing students in the importance of wildlife protection. And who could forget the unforgettable experience of witnessing a live video surgery at the Whitaker Center? It was science like they’d never seen before—an eye-opening journey into the world of biology and medicine!
At PALCS, the learning never stops. Whether it’s the end-of-year picnic, a trip to the museum, or connecting with other families through the Family Support Network, there are plenty of opportunities to meet others in your community. Check out our complete list of field trips and events from last school year, and get ready to make memories that last a lifetime!
