Opportunities for Play

"Play is the highest form of research."
-Albert Einstein

We know how important play is to children, so elementary students at Trilogy are given two recesses each day.

The play room/library is an ideal place for indoor recesses. With a camping area, costumes, large block table, puppets, and kitchen supplies, the creative possibilities are unlimited.

The Trilogy campus is 7 1/2 acres, so there is plenty of room for outdoor fun, as well. For the Middle School and High School students, there is an obstacle/exercise course,

and a large open field for organized sports like soccer and flag football.

The elementary students have a large playground with swings, climbers, monkey bars, and a playhouse.
