Field study trips in the local area during the school day are regarded as an integral part of the educational program of the school at all grade levels. In the Early Years and Elementary Programs, classroom teachers design field study trips. They are based on yearly units of study and/or capitalize on special events in the Thessaloniki area. At the elementary level, Host Country Studies trips that enhance curricular leaning are also planned throughout the year.

At the Secondary level, Pinewood offers a carefully planned set of overnight Host Country Studies trips for all students in Grades 6–12. Each trip is aligned with our curriculum in a variety of ways, particularly by integrating classroom learning in many subjects with the art, architecture, history and culture of Greece. This year, students in Grades 6-8 will travel to Kastoria/Prespes, students in Grades 9-10 will go to Delphi and students in Grades 11-12 will travel to  Athens. Refer to this year’s Calendar of Events for specific dates of each trip.  Where appropriate, subject area teachers also design day trips for students in the Secondary school.
