Garrison Forest provides an academically rigorous program rooted in the close relationship between teacher and student. Our faculty encourages students to embrace both process and outcome so that students learn not only by doing, but in doing. Both the Garrison Forest education and experience inspires students to reach their full potential and to live lives of purpose."
