Learning becomes real when we understand through direct experience. At I.O. we strive to create a safe environment in which ideas and concepts can be tested and challenged. Students are encouraged to explore and discover first-hand the consequences, application and relevance of theories, ideas and even their attitudes.

Leave No Trace (LNT) We at I.O. consider it our responsibility to help conserve those places that we explore, enjoy and learn from. LNT is a set of guidelines devised to reduce the impact of one's activities on the environment while traveling in the outdoors. I.O. adheres to the LNT principles and enforces them on all of trips.
