Our educational approach:
- challenges and supports students to do their best work
- uses adventure, joy, and challenge as a catalyst for personal growth, community connection, and social change
- grounds academic content in real-world issues and concerns
- promotes a sense of belonging and teamwork, as well as individual initiative
- provides opportunities for leadership and demonstrations of learning
- places character and intellectual development on equal footing
We use continuous improvement — the process of problem and solution identification, and then short rapid testing of those solutions in order to assess the effectiveness of the ideas — to ensure we are always moving toward more equitable outcomes for all students.
Our educational approach, guided by the continuous improvement method and mindset, works to disrupt inequitable educational systems and unleash students’ capacity as change agents.
Kurt Hahn, founder of Outward BoundThere is more in us than we know. If we could be made to see it, perhaps for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less.
