Secondary Schools: Adventure Study

A PGL Adventure Study residential course will help to bring subject areas to life for your students. ICT, Field Studies, Science and Languages skills are covered, often with direct reference to the adventure activities on offer, from using databases to launching rockets, or conducting an interview in a foreign language.


Adventure Study courses are available at PGL centres in the UK and France. Multi-Activity and adventure options can be mixed with stand alone sessions of your chosen subject, or you can choose a more comprehensive project-based course with integrated activity sessions.
