Class Trips
Class trips give students the chance to stretch and grow their relationships while learning in new environments.
These St. Mark’s field trips are “electronics-free” allowing students to fully immerse themselves in the experience. Additionally, small field trips may be made during the school year as part of educational or service projects.
5th Grade
Houston Museum of Natural Science, overnight
5th graders bond as a class through exploration, science, and a scavenger hunt on their overnight at the Museum of Natural Science. This trip helps grow relationships outside of the classroom as 5th graders apply the newfound freedom and responsibilities they've gained as middle school students.
