Experiential Learning Lab (College Course)

Teens in our Post-Grad Cohort have the option to take a 1 hour credit course through Curry College called Experiential Learning Lab during this time. Aligned with Beyond Akeela’s philosophy of building college readiness through experiential learning, this course will leverage the experiences our teens gain through our program as part of its curriculum. Teens who take this course will be challenged to better understand how they learn, and practice applying their insights in post-secondary academic and workplace scenarios.
