The Moosalamoo Center is an ecological course offering at OVUHS. The course is a heterogeneously grouped community of learners whose curriculum is motivated by the natural world and the local community. Students at Moosalamoo are engaged, inspired and informed. The curriculum is unit-based, linking traditional academics with real life applications and real life rewards. We put extensive emphasis on not only fact-based knowledge, but interpersonal skills, stewardship, self-direction, and personal investment. We offer two courses that cater to high school students, grades 9 through 12.

Moosalamoo, is derived from themes related directly to ecological study and outdoor education. Students learn through thematic units that blend traditional curriculum with ekistic understanding. The course of study allows for students to spend extensive time in the field and on expedition. Each unit ends with a multi-day wilderness trip that requires the use of academic and social skills learned in the unit. Units include mountaineering, primitive skills, wilderness first aid, canoe tripping and much more.
