Spring Break
SCIENCE LEARNING ADVENTURE
April 4-8

For Grades: 1-8
At Hacienda School in Pleasanton, spring break means a new learning adventure...at school! For Hacienda students, the excitement of learning continues year round.

This year, during the week of April 4, Hacienda School opens its doors to outside students and offers a dynamic science camp for everyone wanting to share a stimulating journey.

This spring, the focus will be on Earth Science, plate tectonics and earthquakes. The daily activities will include "hands-on" observations, experiments, and projects, including an extended project that will culminate with a small science fair on the last day of the camp. Field trips and/or visits by an outside guest will emphasize the practical uses of Earth Science and, perhaps, even stimulate career interests in the sciences. An interdisciplinary approach ensures that students experience science through the written word as well as through art and music.

Consistent with Hacienda's multi-age classrooms and individualized approach to learning, there are three different age groupings: Lower Elementary (grades 1-3), Upper Elementary (Grades 3-5), Middle School (grades 5-8).

Because it is project based, the spring camp is offered on a five-day basis only from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM. For two-career families, extended care is available at no additional charge from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The full tuition for the week is $325.
