Field trips are an essential part of the way we learn at Brooklyn Apple. We're out on the town at least once a week. We've found an overwhelming bounty of experts, artists, craftspeople, professionals, and pigeon fanciers to share their experience and expertise with us. The city is a an amazing resource and teacher. We primarily use public transportation on our journeys. Students at Brooklyn Apple learn to travel safely and without complaint.
