Known as an industrial hub, it’s also served as a fulcrum for laborers, seeking their own American dreams.  From the Magnificent Mile with its famed skyscrapers, to its celebrated son, architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s enduring legacy, Chicago offers students endless opportunities to learn.  A city of museums, public art and a rich historical legacy, this is an unforgettable city.

Active Kingdom testimonials

Some of our happy customers.

A. O’Sullivan

An excellent day from start to finish. No improvements needed. Great value for money. Thank you for a stress-free school tour is was very well organised, teachers and students enjoyed it. Will be returning hopefully!

Can’t think of any way to improve a brilliant school tour for children or teachers. Full day is great value. All the children were delighted with the day, they couldn’t pick what was the best. The group leaders were professional and interacted well with the children. A great day from start to finish.

Fantastic day. Children and adults really enjoyed it. Very good value. Love this tour, have booked it the last 4 years.

This tour is top class, very inclusive for all. I would highly recommend it to my colleagues and friends. The tour is extremely good value, very manageable for parents. We’ve come from near Charleville, Co Cork and even when factoring in the bus cost, the day is still very worthwhile. I have a group that came here 2 years ago, they were expecting a fun day but were so thrilled and excited to find brand new inflatables and new activities like the ‘escape room’. Well done on keeping it fresh and interesting each time we visit.

Everything was excellent, excellent value for money. A fantastic and relaxing day for both students and teachers. Very well run from start to finish. Would recommend to any school. Everything was excellent.

Heard about you through word of mouth. Very good value for money. Great day had by all (including the teachers!!). Best organized school tour I’ve ever brought my class to and I’ve been teaching since 1983!! Will highly recommend it to my colleagues.

All aspects of this tour were excellent. We heard about Active Kingdom through word of mouth from other schools. It was fantastic value. I would like to thank you for sharing your experience with all of us, for being so kind and caring. We will be back!

The children really enjoyed their day here, camp leaders were excellent and very child friendly. Brilliant teacher facilities and refreshments. Excellent and enjoyable facilities and activities for all age groups and abilities.

On behalf of our school we would like to thank everyone at Active Kingdom for a wonderful day. From the moment we were met off the bus, the children were so well taken care of and engaged fully in all of the activities. The leaders were excellent, and the teachers’ lounge was superb! We would highly recommend it to other schools.

No improvements necessary. Very good value. From a teacher’s perspective it was a very well-organised day. The children were happy and safe all day and had great fun.

We have been in Active Kingdom 3 times and it has always been a fantastic experience! We were all very well looked after. Children enjoyed the activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the teachers need to stay with the students?

No, our specially trained leaders meet you and your group at the start of the day, and they bring them through all of the activities. Teachers are free to stay with the group or relax in the teachers’ lounge upstairs. Teachers are requested to supervise children during break times.

Do the kids need to bring a lunch? Is there a shop there?

Yes, kids need to bring a packed lunch, there is no shop nearby, there is a vending machine but stock is limited.

How long are the breaks for kids?

The kids get a 20-minute small break in the morning and 30-minute lunch break. If required, our leaders bring the group in for sporadic water breaks throughout the day.

Is the full day too long for infant classes?

No, we tailor the day for the younger kids by integrating some more sedentary sessions into their timetable. Younger kids also get a number of short water breaks supervised by their leader throughout the day.

What way are the kids split on the day?

Kids will stay with their class group for the duration of the day, generally each classroom within the school is allocated their own leader.

Will our kids be with another school on the day?

No, kids stay with their own school class group. There may be other school groups in the center on the same day, but groups have little to no interaction with the other school groups.

Do activities take place indoors or outdoors?

What happens when it rains?

All of our inflatable activities take place indoors in a large sports hall while our team building, and orienteering sessions take place outdoors on secure grounds. In the case of bad weather all activities take place indoors.

Do the kids need to bring spare clothes?

No, the kids’ clothes should not get wet or dirty as we bring them indoors if it rains. However, it is advisable that kids bring a coat and a spare pair of shoes and socks just in case they get wet.

What times can we start and finish our School Tour?

If you book a full day school tour, your start and finish time is up to you, but it cannot be before 9:30am and no later than 3:30pm. If you book a half-day school tour, the morning session runs from 9:30am-12:30pm, and the afternoon sessions runs from 1:00-3:30pm.

What other attractions do you offer in your Best of Both School Tour?

In our Best of Both School Tours schools can attend out School Tour for half a day and do two of our inflatable activities and two of our team building activities. They will spend the other half of the day visiting another one of the local School Tour attractions such as The Aquadome, Tralee Bay Wetlands, Crag Cave, Kerry County Museum, The Playdium and others. What's more this Best of Both School Tour often costs just as much as our own full day School Tour and we look after the booking of the other attraction for you. Just ask our staff for options.

School Tours

Fota Wildlife Park’s Education Centre is actually one of the biggest in Ireland and is capable of hosting up to 200 students a day.

Tours and Courses are constantly evolving and content varies depending on the age of students and any requests made by their school or teacher.

To ensure students attain as much knowledge as possible, the Park offers a high demonstrator to student ratio, particularly at Secondary level. Fota is unique in Ireland in its ability to present groups with a range of habitats to view and learn about and each course combines theoretical and practical elements – which is crucial for associated learning.

The Education facilities at Fota which is located in East Cork have also been completely revamped in recent years, allowing staff to move activities indoors during more inclement weather.

Primary School Tour

Created to give students a greater appreciation of wildlife, our courses are suitable for students from Junior Infants up to 6th class. The content is simplified or made more challenging depending on the age group, but is based on Irish education syllabus requirements and can be tailored to compliment any work being done in the classroom.

Students are given a Guided Tour of the Park and taken through basic terms such as Feeding Behaviours, Habitats and Threats. They are also given details about individual animals in an effort to make the experience as relevant as possible. Ecology is touched on by spending time in the Woodland areas while a Play approach to Learning is taken with smaller children.

Primary Conservation Explorer Course:

€13.50 per student. Group size: 20 (minimum) – 120 (max)

Fota Wildlife Park is a Discover Primary Science-approved (DPS) centre and offers DPS-registered schools a specially-created day-long option that promotes science, technology and maths. Ecology, practical Woodland activities and a Guided Tour of the Park are all included and the course counts towards schools’ Primary Science award. This course runs between September and March but must be booked early and in advance using the school’s DPS number.

Discover Primary Science Course:

€12.50 per student Group size: 20 (minimum) – 100 (max)

Secondary School Tour

Fota’s Practical Field Ecology course for Junior and Leaving Cert students remains one the most popular options available to schools at secondary level. The course covers all aspects of the Biology module and also allows students time to explore the Park after completing their Woodland survey.

Ecology Course:

€18.50 per student Group size: 20 (minimum) – 120 (max)

An additional Ecology and Conservation course has been created for Transition Year students, with a new team-building day – aimed at 1st years and Transition Year students – introduced in 2012. While the team-building option is a fun day out (with a focus on improving co-operation and communication skills amongst peers), there is an educational element to all of the activities – ensuring that every student leaves with additional knowledge.

Biodiversity Conservation in the 21st Century:

€18.50 per student Group size: 20 (minimum) – 100 (max)

Team-Building Day Out

All Courses must be booked in advance by calling 021 481 2678 or sending an email to: [email protected] . Schools are permitted one teacher FREE for every ten students.

An Exciting Homeschool Curriculum For Irish Infant Classes

Homeschool curriculum infant classes.

Our Irish Homeschool Curriculum: Infant Classes are specifically designed to inspire our youngest students with Wonder and Awe for their Creator & for the world around them. As your smallest children take the first steps in their education, we want to introduce them to the Good, the True, and the Beautiful through a look at our Catholic Faith, Irish History & Language, Science and the Fine Arts. In Senior Infants, we build upon the basic education of Junior Infants, and also begin teaching Reading and Maths.

Our Homeschool Curriculum for the Infant Classes provides a gentle introduction to the Good, the True & the Beautiful .

Our main objective at The Hedge School is to make sure all of our students are well grounded in the Catholic Faith, and we accomplish this at this early stage by providing daily lessons in the Bible, the Catechism and the Lives of the Saints. We encourage our enrolled families to pray with their children regularly, and to help them to understand the Mass–to encourage them to grow in the virtues infused into their souls in Baptism.

As an Irish curriculum, we have a special focus on our beloved homeland. We study Irish History and Gaeilge as subjects, but our culture and heritage also pervade each of the other subject areas. In the Infant classes, we learn about our Saintly forbears in the Faith, our mythology in the Literature course and our native flora and fauna in the Science course.

At this early stage, we want to ensure the child has ample time to explore the world around him, as this is the best way to gain knowledge for the young child. Our lessons should only take about 1-2 hours per day, for 4 days per week and are scheduled at relaxed and engaging pace.

As an affordable Irish homeschool curriculum, we promise that there is never a need to import books or Lesson Plans from abroad–we are an Irish curriculum for Ireland. The majority of our books are available for FREE in the Irish Library System or online. The cost to purchase the required remaining books is only about €100-€125 per year for the Infant years. (But you’re of course welcome to purchase all the books if desired!)

Socialisation can be a concern for some parents–to show our support for our families and for wholesome Catholic community, we organise 3 to 4 (Hedge)School Tours throughout Ireland every school year. Please click here for more information about this: (Hedge)School Tours .

Junior and Senior Infants School Tour

Junior and Senior Infants went to Castle Adventure Farm for their school tour. The children were so excited and couldn't wait to get there! When we arrived, we had a quick snack and then we were off to explore. There were many animals to see: goats, chickens, guinea pigs, pheasants, rabbits and ducks to name a few! After that we all had a turn on the barrel train with the quad bike taking the children around the field. There was some rain, but luckily we were able to shelter in a big barn which was full of great toys to play with.

Once the rain had cleared, the children enjoyed playing in the playground, the two black barrel slides and the zip line were a favourite! Lastly, the children were given the opportunity to pet some animals: a guinea pig which was only 5 days old, a duckling and a large hen! We all had a fantastic day out at the farm.

Change Text Size

LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. – Miles Russell is too young for a driver’s license, but he outdrove his playing partners with ease Tuesday at the LECOM Suncoast Classic.

Russell, the world’s top-ranked junior golfer, will make his PGA TOUR-sanctioned debut this week on a sponsor exemption, roughly a four-hour drive from his hometown of Jacksonville Beach, Florida.

Russell, 15, is a high-school freshman who began online schooling in eighth grade. The smooth-swinging left-hander got ahead on coursework in recent days (classes include geometry, Earth science, world history and geography) so he can focus on competing at Lakewood National Golf Club’s Commander course. This isn’t a ceremonial start, as Russell has displayed high-end talent and skill across a schedule of big-time junior golf events. He surpassed Tiger Woods last fall as the youngest AJGA Boys Junior Player of the Year, and he nearly Monday qualified for the PGA TOUR’s Puerto Rico Open last month – falling in a playoff for the final spot.

A junior star’s first TOUR-sanctioned start becomes a time capsule in future years. Jordan Spieth finished T16 at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson in 2010 (at age 16), and a 17-year-old Scottie Scheffler finished T22 at the same event four years later. Both, like Russell, are past AJGA Players of the Year and made their TOUR-sanctioned debut in their home state. The youthful energy radiates across time, and Russell looks forward to a similar experience this week in Florida.

“I don’t know what to expect, but I’d love to make the cut and who knows, maybe have a good weekend and see where it puts me,” Russell said Tuesday.

Russell was introduced to golf at age 2 by his dad and grandpa, “whacking it around the house … and it’s been history ever since,” he said. “Took me out to the course and went through a bucket of balls in 3 minutes, and it was just fun.”

Russell played baseball and soccer in his formative years, but he eased those sports back to focus on golf – he still enjoys some pickleball and tennis at times, but golf is his purest sporting love. He first attended THE PLAYERS Championship at age 2 (TPC Sawgrass is just 10 minutes from home) and said he’s attended that event as a fan each year since.

“I’ve always wanted to be able to do it," Russell said of eventually pursuing professional golf. "To have the chance to do it would be even cooler, and then to be able to do it would be awesome. I think it would just be cool to do something I love, and there’s not much more I love than this.”

His resume suggests he’s poised to do just that.

Russell was named the 2023 AJGA Player of the Year on Nov. 2 (a day after turning 15) in a year that included winning the Junior PGA Championship (by seven strokes), Junior PLAYERS Championship (carding a second-round 66 at TPC Sawgrass’ PLAYERS Stadium Course, en route to becoming the event’s youngest winner) and representing the United States at the Junior Ryder Cup.

Russell has worked with instructor Ramon Bescansa, whom he describes as both a swing coach and a skills coach, since age 6 or 7. Bescansa, a former Korn Ferry Tour member, will caddie for his student in his Korn Ferry Tour debut.

When asked about TOUR player comparisons that come to mind, Bescansa mentioned reigning Open champion Brian Harman, noting their elite hands, short game and intuition.

“He was already incredible when I first started working with him,” Bescansa said of Russell. “He had a golf IQ that’s not normal for such a young age. It’s been so much fun. I was able to not only help him with his swing, but teaching him how to play golf, play all the shots; he already had a huge understanding and he was like a sponge, a lot of teaching was done with him and a club, and try to do it.”

Russell says he’s more of a feel player than technical, and his instructor concurs. Bescansa said a large part of their work relates to tempo and being synced up. That will become especially paramount as Russell’s body continues to change.

“He’s only 15 and he’s still growing; every time I see him, he’s hitting it farther,” said Bescansa, noting that Russell has reached 112-113 mph of swing speed (which will likely increase in future years).

Russell made waves in the professional golf sphere by narrowly missing at Puerto Rico Open’s Monday qualifier, as he made bogey at No. 18 before falling in a 4-for-1 playoff won by Korn Ferry Tour member Evan Harmeling. (Harmeling proceeded to top-10 in Puerto Rico, his first TOUR start, to earn a spot in the Valspar Championship.)

In a twist, Russell and Harmeling often compete in chipping competitions around their hometown Atlantic Beach Country Club – Russell also often tests his skills against TOUR pros Vince Covello, Raul Pereda, Russell Knox, Philip Knowles and others. Being around professional golfers has accelerated Russell’s development into a world-class junior player, concurred Russell and his instructor, befitting of Russell’s “sponge” ethos.

That was also the case Tuesday, when Russell played an 18-hole practice round with veteran pros Roberto Diaz, Sam Saunders and Rob Oppenheim – who finished runner-up at the Club Car Championship at The Landings Golf & Country Club earlier this month. (After being informed that Russell was the No. 1-ranked junior, Oppenheim quipped that if he wasn’t No. 1, that could foreshadow trouble for veteran pros at large.) Those three have combined for 907 starts between the PGA TOUR and Korn Ferry Tour.

Russell might embody the game’s future, but his veteran playing partners didn’t shy away from offering instruction in the present. On the par-4 11th tee, the group discussed how the hole might play in certain wind directions and various angles to consider on the short par 4 that could become drivable on a downwind day. As they strode up the fairway, Diaz shared nuances and a perspective accrued through a 15-year pro career.

“These guys have been great,” Russell said. “Certainly watching what they’ve doing; asked them some questions … they’ve kind of been showing me some secrets.”

Russell also spent some time at THE PLAYERS last month with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, whom he said “was such a nice guy and such a great guy.” Scheffler famously debuted at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson in 2014, finishing T22 with his sister Callie on the bag – and making a hole-in-one in the third round.

“Scheffler sounded like a PGA TOUR veteran Sunday, analyzing his experience and making a mental checklist of everything he wants to fix,” wrote ESPN at the time.

Russell too sounded like a veteran Tuesday discussing his week ahead, his quiet confidence backed up by his laundry list of accomplishments. The No. 1 junior wasn’t in the business of making bold proclamations, but he projected a sense of expectation to compete this week. When asked about highlight golf moments so far, he mentioned the Junior Ryder Cup and holing out on the 72nd hole at the Junior PGA Championship, but also …

“Maybe we’ll make one this week,” he said after completing Tuesday’s practice round, as he headed to the range for some further work. “Who knows?”

Trump Never Attended Any of His Children's High School or College Graduations?

The former president's complaint that he might be unable to attend his son barron's high school graduation due to his trial spawned misinformation., alex kasprak, published april 18, 2024.

About this rating

Trump has been present at each of his children's high school and college graduations, according to contemporaneous reports and the recollections of other attendees.

Former President Donald Trump's attendance at his children's graduation ceremonies became a hot-button political issue in the early days of his New York criminal fraud trial in April 2024. That's because the former president falsely claimed  the judge had informed him he would not be able to attend his son Barron's high school graduation. 

Trump's assertion resulted another widespread — but false — claim, captured in " copypasta ," that Trump never attended any of his other children's graduations. Most of the copy-and-pasted text made the claim about only high school events: 

In '96 Don Jr graduated from the Hill School. His Father didn't attend graduation. In '00 Ivanka graduated from Choate. Trump didn't attend graduation. In '02 Eric graduated. Trump didn't attend graduation. In '12, Tiffany graduated from Viewpoint School. Trump didn't attend…

Other variations of the claim included  college graduations, as well. 

These claims were false. They are contradicted by reports that appeared in print at the time of the graduations, by the published recollections of former students and by the memoirs of Trump family members. 

An extensive search by Snopes provides documented evidence of Trump attending all of his children's highschool and college graduations. An earlier version of this fact-check noted the possible exception of Donald Trump Jr.'s 1996 high school graduation. 

Since that original fact check, multiple members of that 1996 class have stated that Donald Trump was in attendance at that graduation. One person, whose identity and connection to Trump Jr. Snopes has verified, provided photographic evidence to support that claim. This updated fact-check removes our previous equivocation about Trump's attendance at that event.

In her memoir, Trump's first wife , Ivana,  wrote  about school events that "my rule was that someone — me, Donald, the nannies, my parents, or a combination — had to be at every one." 

Donald Trump Jr.

Donald Trump Jr. attended a private Pennsylvania boarding school named The Hill School and graduated in May 1996. A photo provided by a member of the Hill School's class of 1996 provided Snopes with this photo showing Donald Trump at the ceremony:

(Hill School Parent '96)

Donald Trump Jr. attended a private Pennsylvania boarding school named The Hill School and graduated in May 1996. Snopes has yet to identify any reporting placing the elder Trump at the graduation ceremony, but a widely syndicated May 1996 column critical of him shows that he was a speaker for the school's Career Day that spring:

A quarterly newspaper called Hill Ties, is mostly devoted to Career Day '96, and quotes from the keynote address, delivered by "Mr. Donald Trump, father of Don '96." On its first page, the newspaper took what it apparently considered the most worthwhile (for it quoted no other) passage from the speech: "I think I know a little something about life," said Trump, who inherited a reported $7-million from his father and went onward and upward from there.  "You can't give up," Trump continued. "You are going to have times when you feel there's no light at the end of the tunnel. I had times like that and I had a choice: I could sit in the corner with my thumb in my mouth, or I could fight. My advice to you is: Punch like hell and don't take no for an answer." 

Donald Trump Jr. graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School in May 2000. Donald Trump's attendance was noted by the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Donald Trump, ex-wife Ivana, their kids Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric plus six others limoed to Old City's Novelty for Sunday brunch after Junior's graduation from Dad's alma mater, the Wharton School. Donald the Lesser picked Bruce Cooper's new joint because he liked hanging out there.

Ivanka Trump

Ivanka Trump went to The Choate School for high school — a private boarding school in Connecticut. A Choate student news publication from 2016 recalled Donald Trump's attendance at her graduation ceremony, citing classmate Stephen Farrell:

The only time I saw Donald Trump on campus was at graduation with his security guard. He conveyed the exact same image he does now as a presidential candidate, of importance and self-satisfaction.

Ivanka Trump graduated from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School in May 2004. The Philadelphia Daily News  reported on Donald Trump's attendance at this graduation: 

Wharton grad/former model Ivanka Trump will be leaving her apartment at the Left Bank for one that her father, Donald, bought her a few months back. The Donald and ex-wife Ivana attended a Wharton ceremony Sunday at which their daughter got her degree. The proud parents also took in Penn's commencement Monday at Franklin Field.

Like Don Jr., Eric Trump attended The Hill School, graduating in 2002. Trump's attendance at this graduation ceremony was described in 2017 in a City & State New York report about Eric Trump's life:

When Donald and Ivana dropped him off in 1997, as knowing parents whispered and giggled at the celebrity sighting, Donald Trump asked Eric's 13-year-old roommate, "Are you going to take care of my boy?" Students recall he wouldn't return to Hill until Eric's graduation day in 2002, an event his mother missed, apparently for the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix, a student recalled and news reports suggest.

Eric Trump went to Georgetown University, graduating in 2006. Trump attended this ceremony as well, according to a wire report  published in a variety of newspapers: 

Flash! Eric Trump (yes, those Trumps) graduated Saturday from Georgetown University with (what else?) a business degree, and the extended clan turned out en masse for the festivities: proud pop Donald and wife Melania, mom Ivana, older brother Donald Jr. and his bride Vanessa, and sis Ivanka.

Tiffany Trump

Tiffany Trump attended the private Viewpoint School in Los Angeles, graduating in 2012. In a Los Angeles Times opinion piece published  in November 2016, a classmate recalled Trump's attendance at the graduation:

Dear Donald, I'm sure you don't remember me. You sat in the third row of my high school graduation wearing a loud salmon pink tie. Your daughter Tiffany and I had spent six years together at Viewpoint School, a small bastion of privilege nestled alongside Mulholland Highway. As you watched the ceremony, you probably didn't think it was even possible that an undocumented student would be receiving the same prestigious diploma as your daughter.

Tiffany Trump also graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, receiving her degree in May 2016. Her graduation, occurring during her father's 2016 presidential run, was covered widely by the press, including this report from Yahoo News:

Donald Trump's youngest daughter is officially a college graduate. Tiffany Trump, whose mother is Marla Maples, received her bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania on Sunday. …  Ivanka shared a photo of the siblings on Instagram with the caption: "So proud of my beautiful and brilliant sister @tiffanytrump on her graduation today. We all love you very much." In addition to Ivanka, Tiffany's mother, Marla Maples, was in attendance, as well as the presidential candidate, his current wife, Melania, and their son, Barron.

Because Donald Trump's presence is documented at all of his children's graduation ceremonies, we rate claims that he did not attend any such ceremonies as "False."

Information about the educational organization

Lyceum Student Day was celebrated in SFU

In 1811, on October 19, the Imperial Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum was opened, known as the school that brought up the great Russian poet and writer Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. The day of its opening became the date of the celebration of the All-Russian Lyceum Student Day. This holiday, according to Anna Dmitrova , director of the SFU Lyceum , is the preservation of the traditions of lyceum education in Russia.

On this day, the SFedU Lyceum holds many interesting and socially significant events, one of which is a poster contest related to the life and work of the lyceum, in which not only students, but also teachers took part. All works are posted in the Lyceum building, as well as in the official VKontakte group, where you can vote for your favorite work. Also, the literary club prepared tasks on the history of the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum for the holiday. nine0005

In addition, the election of the chairman of the council of students was held in the lyceum, already from the school bench the children have the opportunity to feel social responsibility to the team of students and teachers.

“I met the SFedU Lyceum last year at an open day, and I was very inspired by the atmosphere of this educational institution and the activities that constantly take place here. It’s great that teachers communicate with students on an equal footing, they are always ready to help and suggest, they are attentive to absolutely every student, and it’s also nice to see that each teacher simply burns with his subject and also tells it interestingly. Being the chairman of the council of students is not only an honor, it is also a great responsibility, and I hope that this will help me gain more self-confidence, develop my leadership qualities and, of course, benefit my Lyceum in the face of its students and teachers” , – Ekaterina Marchenko shared .

Congratulations to Ekaterina on her election to a high post, as well as to all lyceum students on the holiday! We wish you excellent, interesting studies and high achievements!
