NYC Outward Bound Schools

Network Schools We operated a citywide network of public schools that fully embodies our educational approach. Our network consists mainly of district schools but also includes one public charter school. (Continued on Schedule O).

Outdoor Adventure Programs Some of the most important lessons are learned outside of the classroom. Drawing upon Outward Bounds 60 years of preeminence in experiential education, NYC Outward Bound Schools offers a range of outdoor adventure programs for students and educators. We offer these programs on a fee-for-service basis to New York City public schools. They can be school-, city- and/or wilderness-based and can be targeted to youth and/or adults. They vary in length from a half day to a week. These programs strengthen community, belonging, collaboration, reflection and leadership and help bring the central lesson of Outward Bound to life-that with the right mix of challenge and support, all individuals, regardless of background or circumstance, can achieve more than they thought possible.(Continued on Schedule O).

Crew and Select Strategies for Schools In addition to operating our network of schools, we also brought the most effective and replicable school-wide structures and classroom practices from our Network Schools to other public schools throughout New York City. These Select Strategies are specially designed to strengthen schools capacity to build positive culture and/or deliver demanding and engaging academics. We help each partner school adapt and implement one or more of these Select Strategies to address an articulated area of school need.(Continued on Schedule O).
