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, extensive in-person events where students, their peers, staff, and their families visit museums, enjoy cultural events, and more. Generally, the cost for regional field trips may range from $80 to $120 per person which will cover all activities, necessary transportation during the field trip, and an event t-shirt for the memories. Students and their whole family are welcome to join!

For the 2024-25 school year, we plan to visit these cities: Philadelphia, Las Vegas, San Diego, Nashville, Merritt Island, Charleston, New Orleans, Chicago, and Washington D.C.

We also offer virtual field trips for grades K-5.

Travel Learning

Travel is one way we deliver important rites of passage that lead to personal growth. These signature events focus on areas of community service, service to the environment, service to history and civics, and service to self-actualization and leadership.

Laurel Springs extended-stay trips are designed for specific grade-level bands (grades 4-12) and planned in coordination with our travel partner, WorldStrides.

Meet-Ups

Meet-ups are free partial-day, informal gatherings around the country that allow our online students to connect and have fun with one another in person. Most meet-ups directly follow a regional field trip, so families can easily make these into two-day excursions. Meet-ups help students meet grade-level peers and make long-lasting friendships. If a meet-up is in your area (or travel is feasible), bring the whole family to enjoy some Laurel Springs camaraderie!

Looking for quick connections where you live? Contact us about hosting a “recess” in your city or town, and we’ll help spread the word!

Year-End Celebration

At the end of each traditional academic school year, Laurel Springs hosts an event for K - 12th graders. The event includes a virtual and in-person graduation ceremony for seniors, 8-11th grade team building events and field trips, prom and an alumni brunch.

These momentous occasions are held over a 3-day period known as the Annual Year-End Celebration, which features special events for our students and their families. Many students choose to travel from across the country and globe to attend!

Online Clubs

Laurel Springs offers more than 30 online clubs for students to explore and discover their passions. Through regular meetings and gatherings in virtual classrooms, our clubs offer a relaxed, enjoyable experience led by a faculty or staff member who shares the students’ interest in the topic.

Our clubs help deepen student relationships and offer them the opportunity to collaborate and socialize.
