Experiential Education
Through inspiring wilderness adventures, Dunn students build confidence, character, and community. Our location-- which gives us easy access to the high desert, snow-capped peaks, dozens of National and State parks (and that's just in California!), and hundreds of miles of rugged coastline-- sets our Outdoor Education program apart. Our diverse landscapes create opportunities for student growth beyond the classroom through week-long, grade-level trips and weekend offerings.
Mini Term
Mini Term is an exploratory week that offers all students a chance to choose from numerous intensive and immersive academic and physical experiences. Whether students stay on campus or journey across the globe, the goal is to finish the week with an in-depth understanding of a focused topic.
