Field trips are essential learning experiences.

Piedmont 6th, 7th and 8th graders are always travelling to learn, even if its just a walk uptown to a museum, park or business in our neighborhood. We take advantage of all the resources in our city including the colleges and our partner the Hilton Center City. The big class trips are to Atlanta for 6th grade, Washington, DC for 7th grade, and the Outer Banks for 8th grade.
