At OLMA, we believe learning should extend beyond the traditional classroom. That’s why we created the Mini-Mester program, a week-long, end-of-year program designed to provide meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that foster curiosity, creativity, and personal growth.
Launched in 2018, Mini-Mester is rooted in the belief that students learn best when they are actively engaged in exploring the world around them. These courses allow students to step outside of their usual routine, dive into new subject areas, and gain valuable real-world insight that helps prepare them for life beyond high school.


Past offerings have included Fashion Design, Women in Wellness, The Business of Sports, and international travel experiences like Italy: History & Culture…and so many more!
Each fall, new courses are announced, giving students fresh opportunities to try something new. Whether they're traveling, creating, or building something from scratch, students consistently cite Mini-Mester as one of the most memorable parts of their OLMA journey.
