The integrated curriculum, group learning experiences, and participation in the Adventure Education program improve peer interactions, increase responsible behavior, and stimulate intellectual growth.
The curriculum – geared also to teach anger management and address issues about substance abuse, relationships, and human sexuality – imparts self-respect, respect for others, and social responsibility.
