The outdoor education program’s experiential-driven philosophy provides opportunities for students to challenge the limitations they put on themselves, foster independence and resilience, and develop a personal relationship with the outdoors. At Stratford Hall, Outdoor Experiential Education (OEE) is an embedded part of our curriculum with students partaking in OEE class on a biweekly basis. This commitment to outdoor learning ensures students are regularly connected with the natural world, whether we are kayaking, hiking, snowshoeing, or biking. These trips are ideal for fostering environmental stewardship, building collaborative skills, and pushing boundaries through risk-taking. We are an urban school that strives to develop harmony between the urban and natural worlds.
We acknowledge we are situated on the traditional and unceded territory of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓ əm (Musqueam), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh).
