Rolling Academy Symposium
Presentations of Learning
Each expedition concludes with a dinner and presentation for parents, community members and friends. Students work in small groups during the Rolling Academy to complete a photography slide show, video documentary and as individuals deliver speeches documenting their personal learning. The symposium is completely student directed and organized.
