Fieldwork at Polaris is defined as “having a clear purpose that furthers the work of a learning expedition.” So, while a typical field trip may be time outside a classroom for a student, it may not be connected to what they are doing inside the classroom. Fieldwork requires there to be a connection. For example, the older elementary students may visit Buena Vista for Eco Week while the younger students take a walking tour of Old Town as part of their geography study. However, the term fieldwork is used to describe not just off campus visits. It can be going outside to take the temperature, as the younger students have done with their teachers at lunch. This real-world work is crucial to teaching and learning at our school.
Below is a list of the various single-day Fieldwork experiences students engaged in across the K12 spectrum. Please know that this document does NOT include our Intensive Weeks at the secondary level.
