Laurel Springs Events

Events

We take pride in ensuring our students are involved in both their academic studies and the broader school community. Every K-12 student is offered virtual and in-person opportunities to bond through events like meet-ups, field trips, immersive travel learning experiences, and more.

Field Trips

Our field trips are full-day, in-person events where students and families join staff for visits to museums, amusement parks, and more! Regional trips typically cost $80 to $100 per person. This covers all activities, necessary transportation, and a t-shirt.

K-5 students can also enjoy virtual field trips to destinations like Indonesian Temples, Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, and Komodo National Park.

Travel Learning

Our travel learning trips are reserved for high school students. These events focus on areas of community service and environmental stewardship. They also center around historical and civic engagement, and self-actualization and leadership.

Imagine: What life skills would your child gain from a week spent in Costa Rica working with locals on conservation efforts?

Meet-Ups

Meet-ups, or “Recesses,” are free, partial-day gatherings around the country that help students and families connect! Most meet-ups follow a regional field trip, so families can easily make these into two-day excursions.

Contact us about hosting a Recess in your city or town!

Back-to-School Meet-ups

Our families help host back-to-school meet-ups August through October. These fun events get kids excited for the new school year! Each meet-up is hosted by staff and parent representatives.

Year-End Celebration

At the end of each traditional academic school year, Laurel Springs hosts a multi-day Year-End Celebration for students and their families, from Kindergarten to graduates. This event is a favorite of both staff and families as it brings everyone together to celebrate our students’ achievements through special events including:

Student Socials
Graduation Night for Seniors
Fun Field Trips for K-11 Students
Hybrid Graduation (in person and virtual)
Senior and Alumni Brunch
Prom
Parent Social

Many students and their families travel from across the country (and world!) to participate in this unique celebration, making it a truly memorable experience.

Online Clubs and Hangouts

At Laurel Springs, students can explore and discover their passions through more than 30 online clubs. These clubs meet regularly in virtual classrooms, providing a relaxed and enjoyable environment where students can connect with peers who share similar interests.

Led by faculty or staff members who are equally passionate about the topics, our clubs foster deeper relationships, collaboration, and social interaction among students.

Additionally, Laurel Springs offers a robust Student Government and Student Ambassador Program, both designed to enhance leadership skills throughout the high school years.

Virtual Programs and Competitions

Students have the opportunity to participate and collaborate with other students locally and globally in programs such as Model UN, Future City, Academic Decathlon, Math Competitions, Chamber Orchestra and more. Many of these programs conclude the year with an in-person competition.

Parents of students can opt-in to our private social network. Beginning in 6th grade, students have the opportunity to collaborate and make friends in a secure social network environment. Within this private social network, families and students can:

Connect with peers in their local community
Participate in online clubs and make new friends nationwide and globally
Pair up with study buddies for support with online classes

Making a difference in our local and global communities is very important to us. We are dedicated to showing that we care through various initiatives like virtual check-ins, toy and food drives, and hosting and participating in events to raise awareness. Together, we create a positive impact to change the world.
