Experiential Education and Academic Rigor at Sheridan

This month, we had the pleasure of hearing from Sandy Liebson, Director of Experiential Education at Sheridan School. After 16 years at Sheridan, Sandy understands that experiential education is a huge part of the reason that Sheridan’s academic program at both our City and Mountain Campuses is so rigorous and complex.

From trips to our mountain home in Luray to short walks to the DC library; from overnight explorations in the woods to community partnerships with Families4Families, Sheridan students are having experiences that build connections, challenge assumptions, and deepen knowledge.

Here is a recording of Sandy's presentation earlier this month, with timestamps for highlights you might be interested in!

• 3:45: What is experiential education
• 9:42: The benefits of experiential education
• 14:03: Student shares
• 25:00: Rigor and experiential education
• 32:30: Experiential education in lower grades; Q&A
