SYA’s curriculum is our mission in action, and experiential fieldwork is at the heart of it all. When students are intentionally sent out of the classroom (and their comfort zone) and into the local community, they develop key skills and take increased ownership of their education.

From learning about éco-construction methods being tested worldwide at le Pavillon de l’Arsenal in Paris to partaking in a calçotada in Valencia to performing Greek tragedies at a theater in Sicily, students engaged deeply with the local cultures and history, taking opportunities to showcase the skills and knowledge they learned in the classroom along the way.
