"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,
Frisbee golf,
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.
"People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing."
-Dale Carnegie
Play is also worked into many of our lessons.
The school has a wide variety of educational games, covering every possible subject.
"Do not keep children to their studies by compulsion but by play."
-Plato
