The Wilkinson School: Wilkinson School Intensive Studies Journeys


  
A day in the life of a Mayan villager, or a colonial American, or even Rosa Parks. Imagine first, then do it! Here's how we accomplish this:

Each year our school has a special curriculum focus which culminates in an extended field study. Truly unique to the Wilkinson School, students and parents participate together in an exceptional learning adventure. Grades 4 and above are the target group, and it is a mandatory part of their curriculum to participate in these trips. Younger students are welcomed with a parent chaperone. We study history on a 5 year cycle.

This year the intensive study journey will focus on the "Old World" heritage of the Pacific Northwest
