ABX and ICA Team Up for a Special Program for K-12 Students!

Third and fourth grade Title I students visit ICA San Diego Central - Balboa Park to experience ICA's Explore + Make Program.

Thanks to generous funding from the Linda Brandes Foundation, ABX and the Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego (ICA) worked together this school year to connect 687 K-12 students to in-depth tours of the galleries and a hands-on project led by a Teaching Artist at either the Balboa Park or Encinitas ICA location.

Dedicated partnerships like this one with the Linda Brandes Foundation, ICA and ABX strategically links young people to the innovators and creators on our county.

ABX Helps Send Students to Living Coast Discovery Center

First grade students from Silver Strand Elementary had this to say about Living Coast Discovery Center:

"This is the best field trip ever!"

"I've never gotten to touch a sting ray before."

"It's a real live eagle. Can you believe it?"

"Thank you for the field trip. I loved it so much."

"I want to go bird watching again."

Help Make Lasting Memories

Your Gift Ignites Opportunities

Field trip study links San Diego students to possibilities. But the high cost of bus transportation often hinders these learning excursions. Need has surpassed our current funding. We have already booked over 6,000 students for field trip transportation.

Over 3,000 students remain on our Wait List!

Your donation of any amount helps ABX continue to ignite student learning one field trip at a time. Thank you.
