Weekend Program

Discovery Trips

Middlebridge School’s Discovery Program is designed to integrate curriculum across settings through interactive and multisensory activities. Discovery trips are carefully planned and organized. Trips coincide with units being introduced and taught in the academic setting, which allows our students the opportunity to make connections between the work they are doing in the classroom and their “real world” experiences.
 

Past Discovery Trips Include:

• Freedom Trail in Boston
 
• Aquariums and Science Exhibits
 
• Washington D.C.
 
• Mystic Seaport
 
• Local Historical Areas
 
• New York City Theater
 
• United Nations
 
• Natural Areas
 
• RI State House
 
• College and University Tours
 
• Cultural Presentations
 
• Art Museums
 

Weekends

Students participate in weekend programming which immerses them in diverse recreational, educational, and cultural activities in Rhode Island and New England. Off campus activities include local festivals, restaurants, museums, bowling, natural areas, concerts, athletic events, shopping, adventure and wilderness trips, and amusement parks. On campus activities include movies, cooking, athletic programs, art projects, community service, canoeing, kayaking, and special event parties.

Middlebridge weekend staff members are responsible for supervising students in the dorms and during activities, and providing transportation to off-campus events.
