The Grauer School's 2023 Spring Expeditions - NatureBridge in San Francisco
During 2023 Spring Expeditions week (April 24-28) at The Grauer School, all of our students traveled throughout California, around the United States, and abroad. We strongly believe that The Grauer School is among the best in the world at balancing college preparation with Expeditionary Learning. The school was founded on the idea of “learning by discovery” and provides students with the worldwide experience to become compassionate, service-minded citizens. Expeditionary learning is something we believe in so strongly that we cancel classes two full weeks each year in order to engage our students in humanitarian and ecological service. Our students share new experiences and develop lasting relationships with the other students and teachers traveling with them on their expeditions.
Our Middle School students traveled to the San Francisco Bay Area with chaperones Shelley Joslin, Mimi Robinson, Paul-Michael Ogburn, and Ryan Stevens to NatureBridge’s Golden Gate campus, which lies just north of the Golden Gate Bridge in the Marin Headlands. The historic WWII military campus is surrounded by miles of trails along unique rock formations, through wildflowers, with scenic views of the beach and coastline. The students studied environmental science through the NatureBridge program that strives to connect students with the wonder and science of the natural world, igniting self-discovery and inspiring stewardship of our planet.
