The field trips at Gimnasio Vermont are experiences that go beyond the boundaries of the classroom and place the student in direct contact with other spaces and/or realities, that are the object of study in order to broaden their view of multiple learning possibilities.
Each field trip implies work before, during and after, in which curricular articulation processes are promoted and established; the different subjects are integrated and provide concepts, skills and content to deepen the knowledge of different environments, landscapes , societies and cultures.

International field trips
Our challenge is to train ourselves as citizens of the world. We visit Canada with the STEM camp, China with a cultural and deepening visit to Mandarin as a global language and the United States when we go to Vermont to communicate in English. Before leaving the country we prepare with our pre-camps.
What is a pre-camp?
The pre-camps are learning spaces where we prepare ourselves, students, parents and teachers for an international outing. This space was born in 2016 from the needs of the Summer Camp in China with the participation of 65 students and today it is a space longed for by the students of each class.
Educational sports outings: We participate in tournaments, national and international sports spaces in which we promote sports as a lifestyle.
