Field Trips

One of the great aspects of being a relatively small school is nimbleness. We take advantage of our small size by taking frequent field trips. In a day when many schools are drastically reducing the number of field trips, MSC continues its commitment to education outside of the classroom.

Some field trips include outings to Francis Beidler National Forest, the South State MuseumCarolina Aquarium, the South Carolina State Museum, Richland County Public Library, Saluda Shoals Park, Riverbanks Zoo, Columbia's water treatment facility, Lexington County Recycling Center, the Confederate Relic Room, and Columbia Children's Theater.

The school owns a school bus that transports elementary students. The school also employs a qualified bus driver.

Elementary students usually participate in an annual overnight field trip. Each spring, the upper elementary class goes on a three day/two night trip ro either Earthshine Mountain Lodge in North Carolina, a facility known for its high-quality educational programs or Barrier Island know for it's environmental study program.
