Bay Area Youth Explorers is an Oasis exciting educational approach initiated
in 2006-07 as a full-time program that involved about 30 students. BAYEx used
the Oakland Bay Area as a point of entry for a program of integrated learning
that included two full days in the field and three days of independent or small
group work. The program met with great success. Students and staff built a
strong learning community with students highly engaged in learning that
combined extensive experiential learning with independent academic work.
In 2007-08, BAYEx will be offered as Biology course that combines classroom
learning with weekly field studies excursions.
