Fieldwork is purposeful work outside the classroom that builds character, community, and academic skills, and it is an essential part of how we learn here at REALMS.

Teachers at REALMS carefully design investigations that often lead students beyond the walls of the classroom as they search for new knowledge, perspectives, or experiences. When REALMS students venture out on fieldwork experiences, they explore the natural and human community around us to collect data, participate in service projects, experience adventure, and deepen their classroom learning in many ways. These fieldwork experiences go beyond the traditional field trip through their purposeful and direct connection to the classroom curriculum, and through their emphasis on service, adventure, and the collection of data.
