As part of the IB program at LHS, students engage in immersive learning opportunities designed to extend their understanding beyond the classroom. These carefully curated field trips—such as visits to the High Museum of Art, the Georgia Aquarium, and Washington, D.C., as well as local service learning projects—reflect the IB’s commitment to experiential education and real-world application of knowledge.

Each experience is aligned with the IB Learner Profile, encouraging students to be inquirers, open-minded, and caring global citizens. By exploring cultural institutions and participating in community service, students deepen their appreciation for the arts, sciences, civic engagement, and environmental responsibility. These trips also cultivate Approaches to Learning skills such as collaboration, communication, and reflection, empowering students to make meaningful connections across disciplines and with diverse communities.

Ultimately, immersive learning at LHS helps students become more balanced and knowledgeable thinkers who understand that education is not confined to the four walls of a classroom—but is something they live, experience, and grow through every day.

Service Learning
Service Learning
In winter all IB Cohorts collaborate on a full CAS immersive day - completing creative service learning projects and ice skating.
High Museum of Art
High Museum of Art
IB students at LHS travel to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta to engage with works that deepen their understanding of visual expression and critical thinking. For students in the IB Visual Arts course, the museum offers a chance to analyze technique, intention, and cultural context in professional works, inspiring their own creative processes. Simultaneously, Theory of Knowledge (TOK) students use the experience to explore essential questions about how we interpret and assign meaning to art.
This interdisciplinary field study encourages students to think like artists, philosophers, and global citizens—making connections across subjects while developing key IB Learner Profile traits such as thinkers, inquirers, and open-minded learners.
Georgia Aquarium
Georgia Aquarium
As part of their IB studies, the senior cohort at LHS visits the Georgia Aquarium to participate in a hands-on ecology workshop. During this immersive experience, students explore the behind-the-scenes biological systems that sustain the aquarium’s diverse exhibits. From water quality and habitat design to animal care and conservation efforts, students gain a deeper understanding of the complex ecological principles that support marine life and environmental stewardship.
