Several multi-day trips are offered at
Northwest Academy to supplement each student's academic program. These
enrichment activities enhance the core curricular subjects and offer
students an opportunity to experience the subject matter through hands-on
activities while earning academic credit. Discovery trips combine the best
of personal-growth, outdoor education, and substantive academic study to
create a meaningful learning experience. On a discovery trip, students
answer challenging questions about themselves and the world around them. The
curriculum for each trip is built around a guiding question that provides
focus for the academic, outdoor, and emotional growth activities. The
experience also includes a community service project, allowing students to
give back to the community, while making the learning more meaningful for
the students.
