Since 1924, The Out-of-Door Academy has offered an innovative program focused on educating the whole child in a caring and supportive community. Our founders believed that fresh air, physical activity, and the arts would promote student wellness and a higher level of academic achievement. Today, an Out-of-Door education is defined by the pursuit of excellence and a commitment to build character through a balanced program of academics, the arts and athletics. Our core values of Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence and Responsibility are the foundation of our school community.
