Field Trip Process

At Act One, our goal is to serve students whose families and schools are unlikely to have the means to bring them on educational arts field trips. Act One works with schools that serve a high percentage of students from households that qualify for free or reduced lunch and are part of the Federal Title I Schoolwide program.

What we do:

Act One makes planning an educational field trip to the arts a fun and easy process for teachers. Not only do we organize the entire trip, Act One also covers the cost of admission to the field trip (after a $1 participation fee per person) and reimburses each Title I school for the entire cost of transportation to/from the field trip.

To qualify for the Act One field trip program, schools must be:

  • Be designated as Title I with at least 40% of students on free and reduced-price lunch
  • Be in Arizona within busing distance of the field trip location (75 miles or less)
  • A district/charter public school
  • Students must be in grades K-12

How It Works

If your class meets the above criteria, you can request a field trip by going to our calendar.

Step 2

Place your request

Step 2

Place your request

After you submit the form, it will be sent off to the team at Act One! Since space is limited and we have so many amazing opportunities, we recommend requesting three experiences. That helps us place your class for a great trip! If we are unable to accommodate any of your requests, we will contact you for more scheduling possibilities for your group.

Get ready to go

Once your choice is confirmed, we will work with you to reserve transportation, get a school agreement on file, and provide you with educational materials to accommodate your trip.

Act One is responsible for the rest!

Step 4

Act One is responsible for the rest!

We coordinate your trip with the arts organization, pay the admission cost to the field trip, and send teaching materials to help you prepare students for the field trip experience. Additionally, Act One will reimburse your school’s full transportation costs to/from the field trip (or book buses for schools without access to district busing).
