Field Trips

Indiana Montessori Academy • November 20, 2023

Let's go exploring! We live in a community surrounded with great outdoor venues ready for investigation and exploration! We plan an all-school field trip each fall and bring together our abundant community of Primary children and their gracious parent volunteers. In years past, we've ventured on a Nature Scavenger Hunt at West Park, sampled fresh from the farm ice cream at Traders Point Creamery, picked pumpkins and apples from the orchard, taken a journey in time at Conner Prairie and even visited the local firehouses for our International Day of Peace. Our All-School Field Trips are a highlight each fall. Our Kindergarten students enjoy additional field trips throughout the year including a visit and study at Newfields (Indianapolis Museum of Art), a pottery painting party and sometimes a trip to pick raspberries. We love learning outside of our classrooms and treasure our time together on our adventures!

Adults measure time with clocks and calendars, but for children in the first plane of development, time is experienced through rhythm, routine, and repetition.
