Conserve School
School Notes Overview:
Conserve School is a semester school primarily for high school juniors focused on the theme of environmental stewardship. Attending Conserve School gives high school students a one-semester opportunity to step out of their regular school and into an exceptional educational setting, while still continuing their required academic studies. Conserve School's challenging, college preparatory curriculum immerses high school juniors in environmental history, nature literature, and the science of conservation. Because Conserve School is located on a 1,200-acre wilderness campus, a significant portion of the curriculum is delivered via outdoors, hands-on, active learning. Through the generosity of founder James R. Lowenstine, generous financial aid is available....
