Activity Fees and School Outings
Field trips during the school day are taken in every grade, beginning in kindergarten. Grades 3-8 take overnight trips each school year. Week-long trips in grades 3-7 are generally in the Spring. Grade 8 takes two trips, one for one week and one for two weeks. In addition, the entire middle school goes away for a three day retreat. The cost of each of these trips is included in an annual Activity Fee, which is independent of tuition. This fee covers the cost of all grade-specific field trips, one Tehiyah Day School T-shirt (required for some PE classes and most field trips) and a 2011-2012 Tehiyah Yearbook.
