Experiential Learning

It's important to give our students opportunities to take their learning out of the classroom and into the Austin community and the world at large.

Day trips, local, and international travel experiences are thoughtfully designed to integrate with the IB curriculum at each grade level and stage in life.

Experiential field trips begin as early as preschool! Students take a "field trip" around the Chimney Corners Campus to learn how we organize ourselves by using directions and signage for transportation. Beginning in 3rd grade, students have the choice to participate in off campus, overnight, and international trips like these:

5th Grade Retreat
6th/7th Grade Washington, D.C.
MYP Retreat
8th Grade Spain Trip

8th Graders Spring Trip to Spain.
4th Graders Visit the Hearst School of Media at UT.
Tackling the Ropes Course at the MYP Retreat.

Clubs & Activities

Students develop lifelong, valuable skills by participating in school-sponsored clubs.

Some provide the opportunity to serve our community while others involve competing in regional, state and even national conferences and competitions. After School Clubs are school-sponsored and supported enrichment groups focused on specific areas such as: Destination Imagination, Model United Nations, and Entrepreneur's Club.
