FIELDWORK
AXL Academy engages scholars in their learning by exposing them to real-world experiences. The scholars are not just spectators of the experience, but they are asked to play the role of active investigators and even get to learn alongside experts in the field of study. These Fieldwork experiences are strategically developed to integrate classroom learning into the experience and for the scholars to engage in further inquiry. Experiential learning provides ample opportunity for learning to be embedded and inspired.
