Blue Ridge School graduates are required to have a substantial outdoor experience. This might include one of the elective courses below, but it can also include participation for a full season in an outdoor afternoon program. We believe that exposing students to the outdoors and teaching respect for the natural world not only benefits the planet, but also makes the student a better person. The outdoor elective curriculum provides opportunities for students that are unique and interdisciplinary in their approach. All courses are one trimester in length:
Outdoor Leadership
Ornithology
Environmental Ethics
