Our Trips

If there is one thing that we learn at TOPS, it's that in order to be a successful individual, you must first be successful with others. From the first trip in Grade 9 to the last in Grade 12, TOPS students form strong and lasting bonds. Through the years, they all develop a great deal of respect for each other, becoming one big family. These are the foundations that have lead to repeated successes by our students. Our National Science Fair champions, our scholarship winners, our competition medalists in both the maths and the sciences; all of our school leaders could not have achieved what they have were it not for everyone else. If the mindset of TOPS could be defined in a few words, it would best be defined by Newton's famous words: "If I have seen further than other men, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants." The TOPS trips are geared towards providing these shoulder top observatories.
