Students will spend time learning about different careers, taking part in a panel discussion with non-profit organizations and participating in service initiatives.

This spring, NBPS seventh graders will spend three days soaking up the history of Boston, and by extension, America! The city provides a wonderful environment to support our seventh graders’ curriculum. In addition to touring many famous sites, students will also have the opportunity to visit Harvard University for a first-hand look at one of America’s most elite college campuses. 6TH GRADE TRIP TO CIRCLE F DUDE RANCH Wednesday through Friday, May 6-8 | Lake Wales, Florida The sixth-grade trip is designed as an immersive experience to help students experience personal growth and rely on their developing interpersonal skills.
