School of Environmental Studies Reviews
Rating 4.61 out of 5 140 reviews
It’s a great school. Intensive theme is a lot of fun! There’s lots of clubs to join and you can still do sports at your home high school. I love how small AP classes are, I felt very confident when it came time to take my exam’s because of how one on one the teachers are with preparing us for the tests. I love how House doesn’t give tests, only projects. The hands on learning at SES has helped me actually learn and retain the information. 10/10 school
SES, The School of Environmental Studies, is an interdisciplinary school for students, where lots of students learn in places outside of the classroom and classes are intertwined together. House is a class where English, history, and science are taught together, all as a whole. This helps students connect lessons and activities and even things in their lives with their learning in house. A day for a student at SES consists of house (which is about 3 hours long), and two other two hour long classes, such as math and a study hall. Assessments at SES are not your typical written or Bible sheet test, they are more project based, where students work in groups or individually to complete essays, presentations, posters, and even reports that they can present to adults outside of their school. I really enjoy being there and learning in an interdisciplinary way, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys learning hands on.
An incredibly unique approach to education that emphasizes real world experiences and holistic, interdisciplinary learning. SES students make up a passionate, tight-knit community, and the faculty are fantastic. Offers study abroad programs and intensive theme opportunities. Amazing school!
