Trips and Field Trips
Cortona Academy offers a number of special events and field trips. For example, we take students to local restaurants several times a year, where they lunch with some of the most recognized experts in the D.C Area in – art, drama, technology, novelists, musicians, inventors, etc. – This enhances the student’s appreciations of the expert’s particular field, and exposes them to options available to them in the future, including helping them choose private mentors from the D.C Metro area at large. Often these mentors follow our students through college and beyond.
If the student body chooses, we offer trips to earn Congressional Award credits to Rome, Venice, Florence, Pompeii, and of course, Cortona, Italy. We also take field trips to the many outstanding educational resources and opportunities in the Metro area, such as to operas, theatrical performances, interactive scientific and cultural exhibits, technology demonstrations, as well as trips to New York City.
All trips and special events change each year. The students and parents decide what THEY wish! Cortona Academy facilitates their hopes and dreams.
