Field Trips
Grace Brethren offers a variety of field trip opportunities. Our students are able to explore a more thorough understanding of the subject matter through on site experiences. At each grade level, not only will these opportunities give the students a hands on experience, but it will allow them time to deepen their faith while cultivating their relationships with each other.

In late April, students have the opportunity to prepare for the Calculus AP exam in a beautiful enviornment located at the Pine Mountain Club near Frazier Park.

Magic Music Days at Disneyland is an opportunity for choirs and musical theater groups to learn about the challenges of rehearsing and performing a full production number with vocals and choreography. In a day clinic, a Disney Show Director/Choreographer gives valuable critique and fine tunes a Disney show piece they've learned on the spot. This venue is enjoyable for Junior and Senior High Students.
Home Economics
The Home Economics Class takes a variety of field trips each year in order to gain additional experience in everyday living. They visit a local restaurant to observe the kitchen, chefs, service, etiquette and manners. Grocery shopping is also explored through an on site visit enabling the students to organize a shopping list, locate the best value, and interview department managers. A culmination of these experiences enable the students to prepare and serve an elegant lunch to the administrators. The visit to a car dealership enables them to understand the difference between purchasing or leasing a car, how to obtain a car loan, and other pertinent information.
Drama
The Thespian Society competes annually in the Cal State Fullerton High School Festival. Each year the thespians bring the spring musical production to the festival and individual students compete in monologue events, as well as Technical theater events. This event allows students to participate in competitive theater with local schools.
