| Outdoor Education |
Outdoor EducationAs part of our commitment to experiential learning, each fall, guided by teachers and administrators, students travel to one of the many spectacular locations of the California landscape. While snorkeling along Catalina Island, rock climbing in Big Bear, kayaking off Santa Barbara or backpacking in our local mountains, students gain a greater insight into the natural world and the role they play within it. Away from our urban environment and the creature comforts of modern, technological living, these unique experiences expand vision, stretch capabilities and help to develop lifelong skills. As camaraderie and sharing build throughout the week, respect is gained for each other’s differences while friendships are cemented. Fall 2009 Outdoor Education locations:Middle SchoolMonday, October 5th through Thursday, October 8th
High SchoolMonday, October 5th through Friday, October 9th
