9-12 Field Study Program

9-12 Field Study Program

Field Study Days (FSD) have been developed and are a part of our charter to give students an opportunity to design their own meaningful experience for the day. The day should be spent on an activity that extends the learning environment from the classroom into the home and community. Three days during the school year have been set aside for this purpose. These are not DAYS OFF for students or staff!

Field Study Day for high school students is an important opportunity to experience or pursue interests related to your future career, education, or personal interests. Each year, three new experiences will be selected and logged.

All FSD work is assigned and evaluated through ELA classes.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: In order to participate in graduation ceremonies, seniors must complete all 3 FSD experiences assigned during grade 12.
