What Is Experiential Learning?

Science & Engineering Symposium
Students showcase their scientific prowess in annual research projects, often excelling in regional and state competitions.

The Big Dig
This unique project blends language arts and social studies, giving sixth graders a taste of archaeology as they "excavate" artifacts and reconstruct lost civilizations.

Leap Program
Eighth graders embark on self-designed projects that push them outside their comfort zones, allowing them to discover hidden talents and interests.

End-of-Year Trips
Every grade celebrates the year's end with an unforgettable adventure. Sixth graders embark on mystery trips, seventh graders hone their leadership skills on a retreat, and eighth graders gain a global perspective on a trip to Quebec, Canada.

Middle School Musical
This annual tradition fosters teamwork and dedication as students participate in a live theatrical production. Every single MS student has a hand in the success of our annual musical. Whether they are acting, building sets, creating costumes, or working on tech, students work together to create an amazing experience every year!
