A Message from the Director of Experiential Learning
Experiential Learning is a practice that engages students in active, hands-on learning, integrating curricular goals with practical and consequential real-life experiences.
Experiential Learning encompasses a broad variety of learning activities, including outdoor education, adventure learning, service projects, internships, group-based learning projects, world travel and cross-cultural collaboration. This educational approach begins in the classroom, expands to the community and eventually takes the learning process into the world at large. Building on our mission to actively engage learners in progressive education models, students will have the opportunity to travel regionally, nationally and internationally for Experiential Learning projects.
Faculty, students and administration work together to create meaningful, curriculum-based trips to support our educational objectives. It is our goal to have students participate in these trips once every two years. Travel dates coincide with school breaks and students are given the opportunity to choose from a tiered menu of proposed destinations and projects.
