Shades Mountain Christian School’s 10th, 11th and 12th grade students and faculty attended the Disney Youth Education Series in Orlando, Florida, Sept. 22-25.

The Disney Youth Education Series provides a hands-on, educational adventure in the heart of the Disney Parks. Students can choose from a variety of guided field studies in applied sciences, environmental sciences, liberal arts and leadership development. Each study is accredited and standards-based, and it is designed to build upon foundations from the classroom.

Students are encouraged to use teamwork, critical thinking and problem-solving skills during their guided field studies. In addition, the students and faculty had the opportunity to spend time in the Disney parks and build relationships that will last a lifetime.
