TLC School students and teachers enjoy many field studies each school year. The K/1 students often visit local businesses, including a bank, the bakery, a cabinet maker’s workshop, the doctor’s office, and the veterinarian. Students in grades 2/8 take a two-night end-of-the-year class trip. Past destinations have included Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC; Chattanooga, TN; Charleston, SC; and Jekyll Island, GA; Atlanta, GA; and Wirtz, VA. These students also enjoy a two-night camping trip each fall.
