New York City Outward Bound Center Inc

Programs: Nyc outward bound schools networkwe operate a growing network of small college-preparatory public schools in the city in partnership with the nyc department of education and continue to support our graduates once they are in college. Our schools especially target students from neighborhoods where access to high quality education has been limited until now. We assist our schools in implementing the el education school model, which is rooted in outward bound's educational approach, and provide an extensive package of services and supports aimed at promoting high-quality teaching, high levels of student achievement, character development, and college access, readiness and persistence.

adventure and team building programsnyc outward bound schools provides a range of customized adventure and team building programs which incorporate outward bounds activities and approaches and which we offer on a fee-for-service basis to city public schools, private schools, universities and other youth-serving organizations. They are organized around one or more of the following themes: leadership/character development; service; and academic enrichment. As their name suggests, they are tailored to meet specific client needs and goals. (continued on schedule o).

select strategy schools over the past two years, we have successfully piloted a strand of work through which we provide professional learning and coaching to schools outside of our network interested in adopting key elements of our approach. Our support is designed to address two main school improvement areas: community, culture, and character building, and demanding and engaging academics. Pursuant to our new strategic plan which will take us through 2020, we seek to grow the number of schools we work with to 25. (continued on schedule o).
