Field Trips

We are excited to announce our field trips for this school year!

6th Grade Field Trip: Oct 15, 2026.  Welcome to the Great Greenville Staycation Experience! This one-of-a-kind field trip gives Beck Academy students the opportunity to discover the incredible places, people, and experiences that make Greenville such a special community.

Throughout the day, students will explore Greenville through hands-on learning experiences in nature, the performing arts, local history, and outdoor adventure. They'll meet community experts, challenge themselves with new experiences, and gain a deeper appreciation for the place they call home.

Whether students are soaring through the trees at Flying Rabbit Adventures, learning from park rangers at Paris Mountain State Park, participating in a hands-on theatre workshop at the Warehouse Theatre, hearing firsthand stories from veterans at the Military History Museum, or enjoying aviation-themed fun at Take Off Mini Golf, every stop has been carefully selected to make learning meaningful, memorable, and fun.
