Like many NYC Outward Bound Schools, instead of taking the Regents exams in high school, students must complete four Performance-Based Assessment Tasks (PBATs) for which they propose a topic, conduct independent research, and write a paper which they publicly defend to a panel of faculty, peers and visiting experts. (Kurt Hahn students are still required to take English Regents exams).
At Kurt Hahn, sophomores and juniors complete 50 hours of community service, a requirement that has helped earn the school a School of Distinction honor from New York Cares. This program places students in organizations across the community where they can develop professional relationships, land internships, and experience the joy that comes from serving others.
