Experiential Learning At Its Best


“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me
and I learn.”  — Benjamin Franklin

Mr. Franklin knew a thing or two about the power of learning by doing.  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.
