EXPEDITIONS

Sylvia Plath said it best, "I would be forced shivering into a new, unfamiliar world, where I had to forge new friends and a home for myself, and although such experiences are painful and awkward at first, I know...that they are the best things to make one grow - always biting off just a bit more than you chewed before and finding your amazement that you can..."

Field expeditions are not an add on at Northwest Passage High School, they are an essential part of the program. By the time a 9th grader graduates from our school it is hoped that they will have completed several local field studies, one extended national expedition, visited Washington D.C. and participated on an international expedition. It is our goal to make them free for all students. Here are a few examples of this year's expeditions.

Leadership Retreat:

Incoming students will participate in a leadership development course culminating with a 2 day leadership retreat. They will have an opportunity to participate on a high ropes course and team building activities
