Mini-Mester Program

Experiential Learning At Its Best


Not all classrooms have four walls.

While not all learning can be experiential, we believe that it should play an important role in preparing high school students for college and beyond.  At OLMA, we integrate hands-on, experiential-learning in nearly every course.  To build upon the success we’ve seen, we recently introduced Mini-Mesters.  These week-long courses represent experiential learning at its best.  They give students the opportunity to delve deeper into subject areas that intrigue and interests them.

OLMA's Mini-Mester program offers unique and once-in-a-lifetime experiential learning opportunities for our students! Whether it is traveling to Costa Rica to learn to surf or visiting the studios of renowned artisans to learn how to make jewelry, OLMA students have the chance to learn different skills through hands-on experiences offered at the end of each academic year.
