Beyond The Classroom

At RCA, we believe that learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. That’s why we have multiple field trips each year as a key part of our educational experience. These outings give our students the chance to explore the world around them, discover new interests, and see how what they learn in school connects to real life. From science and history to the arts and nature, each trip opens doors to hands-on learning, fresh perspectives, and exciting possibilities for the future.

Take a look below to see the exciting trips we’ve taken so far during the 2024–2025 school year!
