Experiential Learning
Experiential learning offers students an opportunity to actively participate in learning experiences that take place in the community. These learning experiences can be local, national, or global and are connected to both classroom learning and real-world application.
Our goal is to prepare all of our students for their futures by inspiring them to be adaptable, authentic, resilient learners. 
Experiential learning is an approach to teaching and provides students the opportunity to:
- Participate in authentic experiences connected to a community outside the classroom
- Reflect on those experiences to create meaning
- Apply learning to influence decisions and actions
Benefits
