This week, Fieldston Upper students had the chance This week, Fieldston Upper students had the chance to step outside the classroom for a variety of hands-on learning experiences, collectively known as Alternative Learning Programs, or ALPs! 

From service learning trips like packing kits to support the mental health of pediatric patients at NYU Langone, to seeing Broadway shows and visiting museums across the city, to trying to find the best hot dog in New York, students had so many opportunities to connect with their peers, try something new, or dive deep into a subject they’re passionate about. Thanks to all of our students and faculty who developed ALPs, and to everyone across the school who supported this program!
