Experiential Learning

Middleburgh Central School District places a priority on real-world learning, both within and outside the classroom. This is accomplished through hands-on learning, field trips and connecting with artists and exhibits. Students in grades Pre-K through 12 are provided multiple enrichment opportunities that expose them to new concepts, ignite their curiosity, and expand their cultural awareness. Experiential learning is part of the district’s commitment to preparing students for the future and the world beyond Middleburgh. 

During the 2023-24 school year, students went on over 100 field trips. Some of their experience were captured in this video:
