In conjunction with their classroom learning, students are also exposed to real-world examples through various field trips that reinforce and support what they study.
Some field trips include California Mission visits, trips to the Science Center and History Museum, and trips to the Leonis Adobe.
Each year in October, our 9th-grade students embark on an educational journey to Washington, D.C., where history and government come to life. From visiting national monuments and museums to exploring the Capitol and other landmarks, this immersive experience deepens their understanding of U.S. history and civic responsibility while creating lasting memories with classmates.
As part of their high school journey, incoming 11th graders travel together to Armenia for two weeks to explore their cultural heritage, connect with the land of their ancestors, and strengthen their bond as a class. The following summer, incoming seniors return for a three-week internship program, gaining hands-on experience in diverse fields such as medicine, politics, journalism, health, technology, and humanitarian work.
Every other year, AGBU MDS high school students have the opportunity to participate in the Argentina Exchange Program. They first welcome the exchange students at MDS in January. In July, they visit Argentina, immerse themselves in a new culture, strengthen their Spanish language skills, and build lasting friendships with their UGAB Marie Manoogian School peers.
