Audubon Expedition Institute
- Audubon Expedition Institute
The Audubon Expedition Institute is a traveling college that explores the United States and the world in the course of facilitating extraordinary educational experiences for a small number of undergraduate and graduate students. It is an accredited program affiliated with Lesley University.
The Institute began in 1969 when it was called the The Trailside Country School, with offices in Manhattan, New York City and Killington, Vermont. The School was founded by husband and wife instructors Michael Cohen and Diana Becker.
What began as short excisions gradually transformed into year-long, slightly more structured educational curricula. However, students still slept outdoors, traveled on vans — and then eventually buses — and continued to direct their own experience through consensus decision making, working in collaboration with instructors (called "guides").
