In adventure settings, our students have the opportunity to make good choices, practice judgment, learn to find common ground and navigate through conflict. As a school we constantly evaluate how our adventure programs are benefiting students, and try to work with our students to better fit their needs to grow as capable and confident adults.
Athletics and Leisure:
Unlike many school athletic programs, adventure activities at Oliverian are taught as life-long pursuits. Our belief is that a passion for these activities can be developed through a coaching relationship between our skilled and qualified staff and our students.
Our goal is to provide a solid foundation of skill and technique as students strive to reach their highest level of individual performance. We also support and encourage students should they decide to compete.
