Experiential Education

Experiential Education at Denver Academy

Experiential Education — the act of learning through doing and then reflecting — is an integral part of Denver Academy's curriculum throughout the school year. Experiential Education is designed to provide students with a wide range of academic, personal, physical, community, and social challenges outside the regular classroom. 

In addition to our year-round curriculum, DA typically offers special Experiential Education Immersive (EEI) opportunities the week before Spring Break. EEI experiences are provided on campus for Elementary/6th Grade students. For grades seven through twelve, students have the opportunity to select the Experiential Education Immersive in which they would like to participate, including both on- and off-campus opportunities.

Experiential Education Immersive (EEI)

Our Experiential Education Immersive (EEI) offers students a unique opportunity to “learn by doing and reflecting” while mingling with students from other grades/divisions, working with teachers from other grades/divisions, and fully immersing themselves in transformative experiences. 

EEI experiences for students in grades 7-12 are not included in regular  DA tuition but include a wide range of units in all price ranges, starting at $0. Units offered are on-campus, local (in the Denver metro area), regional (overnight within driving distance from DA), national, and international. The 2025-26 Experiential Education Immersive days were Wednesday, March 18 through Friday, March 20, 2026, although some units were longer.

Dates for the 2026-27 school year are currently scheduled for Wednesday, March 17 to Friday, March 19, 2027.
