The biggest difference when it comes to credit is that at Wildlands students earn their credits in a project-based learning format and these areas are not formal sit down classes. Therefore, choice and interest can guide even the core required area projects. Students often do projects that result in earning credit in more than one academic area as projects are not often in just one subject and are of a multidisciplinary nature and community-based.
