- Volunteering and special programmes: The school lists volunteering, Learn & Earn and special programmes as experiential options; current availability varies.
Outdoor activities & education
- Leadership-track overnight trip: The official course schedule describes one discounted overnight trip and experiential hours as part of a two-credit leadership track. Destination and current-year availability should be confirmed with the school.
