An RE tradition: Experiential learning
At Ransom Everglades, students learn by doing. In laboratories and maker spaces, on the campus stage and bay, and in the courtrooms and museums of our city, students practice and apply the skills of the disciplines they study.
The earliest students at Ransom Everglades confronted and celebrated nature, practicing woodworker’s skills at the Adirondack campus while sailing and fishing on Biscayne Bay. Current students continue to benefit from myriad experiential opportunities woven into daily course work at RE, along with a number of exciting signature programs that offer meaningful explorations of various pursuits. Learn more about those programs below.

“The boys and girls who study here, not shut away by masonry, artificial lighting, air conditioning and windowless walls from the earth and sea, the growing plants, the wild creatures, the love of natural things, have had a wider approach to wisdom to the great truths of human thought, a more reasonable approach to the realities of human life.”
