The Winter Learning Program (WLP) is a hands-on, experiential learning program where students take a variety of interest-generated courses. This program, which lasts two weeks in January, is a learning enviornment in which students can attend workshops, fossil digs, and visit art studios. Some hike the North Georgia mountains or bike ride the Silver Comet trail. Budding actors may choose to go to New York City or Los Angeles to visit studios and see shows. Students in grades nine through twelve may serve in an internship of their choice (with principal approval). Many students choose a public service project, such as helping out in a food bank or soup kitchen. Others may attend a cooking school or "So you want to be a Rock Star". Our school goes to a working Dude Ranch in Arizona each year and explores different facets of "The Wild West", which includes a trip to the Grand Canyon. These activities do vary each year.
