We seek to enhance the emerging potential of young people and adults through authentic, connected, rigorous and meaningful learning opportunities.
Looking inward, Adventure Education programs are expressly designed to connect with the larger goal of New Hampton School. We seek to be leaders in articulating and teaching core aspects of our mission including the Foundations of Learning curriculum.
Looking outward, Adventure Education values collaboration and leadership within the field of Experiential Education to promote and diffuse best practices in our industry as they relate to private schools.
