St. Mary's has long recognized the value of experiential education.
Exploring the world while outside the classroom is more important than ever for the social, emotional, and mental well-being of students.
Between the incredible power of digital distractions and destructive social media, isolation, and inactivity are major concerns. The loss of curiosity and creativity is a side effect of too much time on their phones, in their bedrooms, and on their video games.
Luckily for them, and for us, there is an antidote: participation in school life and all of the activities available to them outside of the traditional classroom.
We take the classroom outdoors with a program based on three pillars: environmental education and stewardship, leadership development and community service, and physical and mental health.
