Education Enhanced by Experiential Learning Credits

"Involve me and I learn." — Benjamin Franklin Every student chooses a passion to develop: an athletic goal, an artistic craft, a skill they can offer in service. Then they do the real work, hour after hour, week after week, of becoming better at it. Along the way, they come to understand what the work is teaching them about dedication, patience, and the kind of person they're becoming.

Jared D | Piano Performance
Learning piano has taught me that progress isn't always loud. Some of my biggest growth has come in the quiet hours of practice, when no one is listening and I have to choose discipline over distraction.

Everything I know best comes from things I've done with my hands. I learned from trial and error. The variation and experimenting was most interesting to me.

Wright T - Kite Surfing
At first, I'll admit I was a little scared of the kite and the power it holds. But once you learn how to control it, really take care of it, move it the right way, it's not scary at all. It's the best way I can describe it: almost like flying.

Brinley G - Tennis
Champions keep playing until they get it right. After several months of dedicated time and effort, I couldn't agree more. The key attribute that differentiates a good player from a great player is their dedication, even when they can't seem to get it right.
