Grade 8 - STEM Costa Rica
Eighth graders take on sea-turtle-saving, whale-watching, rainforest-hiking, conservation awesomeness!
On this trip of a lifetime, American Academy eighth grade students will travel to Costa Rica to learn about and participate in some of the ongoing conservation efforts so important to preserving marine and rain forest ecology in Costa Rica. The goal of this STEM trip is to put students to work with real conservationists and researchers, and give them the experience of working “in the field.” (Estimated Cost: $3495.00/student)
February 21-28, 2026
For all interested families, an email with key details-including a presentation with dates, times, and meeting links-was sent to all 8th-grade families on Thursday, August 21st, across all three campuses.
Didn't get it? No worries! First, check all your email addresses, including the ones listed in Infinite Campus (yes, even the old one from 2005). Still no luck? Email Mr. Todd and he'll make sure you’re in the loop.
Have a great day!
