Kurt Hahn Expeditionary Learning School

Overview written by the school: At the Kurt Hahn School, it is our mission to challenge, engage, and empower young people so that they become informed, skilled, and courageous leaders. Kurt Hahn is an NYC Outward Bound School and a member of the NY Performance Standards Consortium. At KH, we prepare students for college, citizenship, and the workplace by bringing to life the principles of Outward Bound: that combining intensive challenge with guided support leads to students achieving far more than they ever thought possible.

At our school, leadership, active citizenship, and character development go hand-in-hand with academic rigor and challenge.
