COLLABORATORS & REAL WORLD LEARNING
At Satori, our hands-on field experiences are designed to complement and deepen the online curriculum. By stepping outside the classroom and into the rich natural and cultural environment of the British Virgin Islands, students bring academic subjects to life through real-world exploration.
These weekly and monthly off-site sessions align with subjects like Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Environmental Studies—and offer students the chance to learn by doing.
Field-Based Learning Areas Include:
- Archaeology
- Arts & Creative Expression
- Marine Conservation
- Nature Conservation
- Sustainable Living & Eco-Tourism
- Language & Cultural Immersion
- Science & Ecology
- History & Culture
- Physical Sports & Outdoor Challenges
- Community Service & Social Impact
All of these experiences are intentionally designed to reflect and reinforce the academic goals of the online curriculum—making learning relevant, rooted, and real.
