CONCISE SCHOOL LISTINGS

These are, in part, schools similar to those found in the Leading Private Schools section about which sufficient information is not currently available to allow inclusion there. Also included here are schools whose enrollment is more strictly limited to a local area or with specialized objectives and programs.

 

This section describes secondary-level academic term programs (usually operating on a semester system) that combine credit-bearing course work with experiential learning. Programs may have an environmental focus and typically employ the local environs as a significant teaching tool. Curricula are designed to promote academic continuity between the student’s home school and the term program.
