OUTDOOR EDUCATION
Outdoor Education is an essential part of the New LA Experience. It's an opportunity for kids to unplug and experience the outdoors. While the students will have the time of their lives, there is also serious science learning that takes place. The outdoor education program is designed for students to acquire valuable skills and perspective that will help in their preparation for academic achievement and the world beyond.
