Experiential education

Recognizing the importance of learning that occurs outside the classroom, Lovett incorporates experiential education into the curriculum at all levels. Some examples include:

In the Lower School, fifth grade students participate in a three-day trip to Rock Eagle. Students participate in activities revolving around ecological studies and team building.

In the Middle School, sixth grade students travel to Chattanooga, Tennessee, to experience its history, geology, and culture. Each fall the seventh grade students venture to Savannah and Oatland Island for three days of educational learning mixed with fellowship and fun.

In the Upper School, the Service Initiation for the Ninth Grade (SING) is designed as a meaningful service-learning experience for Lovett ninth graders. A new program for tenth graders, River Awareness for Tenth Graders (RAFT), is focused on the ecology of the Chattahoochee River. The annual Junior Outdoor Expedition (JOE) takes the rising senior class and chaperones to the Pisgah National Forest for five days and four nights of backpacking and rock climbing in June.

During the senior year, students have several opportunities to do independent, off campus work through Senior Projects, Creativity Fellowships, and final projects for the Senior Seminar.

Several scholarship funds are available to assist Lovett students who want to extend their education beyond the walls of a traditional classrooms in these and other ways. For more information on these funds, click here.
