MS Field Trip Day

On May 14, our Middle School Students embarked on various field trips with their grade levels. Students had a fantastic time learning beyond the classroom and campus walls. 

Our Grade 6 students went on an enriching adventure at Garten Tulln, nestled just outside the charming city of Tulln. During this field trip, students immersed themselves in the wonders of nature, engaging in a range of outdoor activities designed to foster a deeper appreciation for the environment. From conducting a pond study to participating in a biodiversity scavenger hunt, and even enjoying a bit of canoeing, it was a day filled with exploration and discovery. 

Our Grade 7 students took a trip to the Roman History site of Carnuntum to improve their understanding of archaeology and Roman history by taking a guided tour through the Roman settlement, including activities that brought history to life.

Some of our Grade 8 students visited the Dialogue in the Dark experience and had a chance to try the sport of bouldering. This field trip included experiences connected to our Service Learning Project and focused on fostering inclusivity and empathy for people with disabilities. We are excited about the invaluable opportunity students had to integrate and extend concepts and ideas that we have been focusing on here at school.

Other Grade 8 students participated in an exchange with the students from the Clara Fey Schule, a school in the 19th District for children with intellectual challenges. AISV students engaged in a variety of creative and athletic activities with about 30 of their students. The afternoon was devoted to an activity related to our service-learning work with the school. “Different, not less!” is the sentiment we wove into and lived on this day.

These are just some of the many ways the city of Vienna makes up our extended campus, with its many educational and cultural offerings.
