Experiential Learning
The Power of Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is the foundational approach to learning within the Quest program. As students are discovering, we are able to leverage the flexibility of the daily schedule within Quest to build in more experiential learning opportunities such as field-trips, community service engagement and partnership work with industry and NGOs, attending conferences--things that often are just not possible in a traditional year-long schedule due to the time constraints of bell schedules for courses.
