The Education Destination Field Experience Program
The Education DestinationThe Education Destination is a holistic approach to teaching and learning using concepts from brain-based learning, object-based learning and the best practices in education. The community as a learning environment encompasses the key components of all of these concepts. It is also a natural progression from the student’s early childhood exposure and experience. Creating a community classroom, in addition to applying the best practices in education, serves to develop the students multidisciplinary skills, increases their historical and global awareness while enhancing their academic studies.

The parents receive background information and resources to prepare their students for the workshop and activity. The students meet on-location to participate in a guided tour and hands-on activities. The activity is content specific and incorporates the site as a learning environment.
