The Field Academy

Fieldacademy

This is an amazing new education concept that has been started by a few incredible friends from Vermont. Here is a some information, but check out the full site below:

Opening in August of 2012, the Field Academy is an academically rigorous, two-year residential high school for 20 juniors and 20 seniors.  Our design and academic curriculum have two main features: (a) a sustainable farm campus; and (b) extensive travel throughout the United States.  In both settings, we investigate what surrounds us: on the farm, we study the environmental, political, and social implications of being part of an ecosystem; on the road, we explore historical, literary, artistic, and scientific disciplines to deepen our understanding of American identity and citizenship.
