Enrichment & Access
Noble and Greenough School
Experiential & Community Engaged Learning (EXCEL) programs at Nobles encompass a wide variety of programs in and out of the classroom. EXCEL programs push Nobles students to serve their communities, pursue a passion, travel to and learn in new places, explore an idea or study in a different community. Nobles has built partnerships with over 100 organizations in Greater Boston, across the country and around the world. Working with these organizations challenges Nobles students to develop new skills and to see the world from different perspectives. As Nobles develops “leaders for the public good,” EXCEL programs create invaluable opportunities for developing our best selves.
Each year over 100 Nobles students collaborate with over 25 Nobles teachers to continue our partnerships with non-governmental organizations in New Orleans, New Hampshire, South Africa, Romania, India, Cambodia, China and Guatemala. In addition, Nobles has partner school relationships in Japan, China, France and Spain where at least 25 Nobles students annually are involved in cultural and language exchange.
As a graduation requirement all Nobles students are required to complete 80 hours of community service. Nobles has established partnerships with Riverdale Elementary School in Dedham, Roxbury Prep School and Community Servings so that each season during the school year Nobles students are working on a daily basis with these organizations.
