At Great Lakes Academy, we understand that what happens outside the classroom is as important, and sometimes more important, as what happens inside the classroom. Field trips and extracurricular activities are a vital element in engaging students’ intellect, social connection, and physic activity, resulting in powerful and memorable learning experiences.

Monthly field trips to places like nature preserves, science centers, museums, and live musical and theatrical performances are some of the ways that GLA exposes students to culture, politics, important real-world knowledge, and experiences outside of classroom instruction.
