sports & Adventure Experiences

Centered on experiences impossible to provide in the classroom during the academic day, we tailor sports and adventure opportunities to reinforce our curriculum’s character qualities and life skills and to strengthen relational bonds between students and teacher-mentors. Students also tackle many “firsts” as they learn to process failures, identify vital lessons learned, and reward hard work and achievement.

"Participating in the Sports and Adventure program has allowed me to challenge myself mentally and physically through activities like GoApe and trying the different ropes courses. It was also peaceful being able to see downtown Atlanta on the ferris wheel at SkyView Atlanta."

physical + Social Emotional

A blend of physical exercise and social-emotional learning, students find a safe space with trustworthy people to step out of comfort zones, confront fears, and take risks alongside their Teacher-Mentors through specially-designed opportunities.Team-oriented activities create environments where students hone needed skills like communication, conflict resolution, and interdependence. They also encounter different ways to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives.

Through these experiences, students bolster their confidence,
practice agency, and learn they can do more than survive. They can thrive.
