Honda Engages Education Through Eagle Rock School

Honda has made a strong commitment to promoting corporate social responsibility. As part of that commitment, the brand opened the Eagle Rock School and Professional Development Center back in 1991. This school offers high school students with an alternative to traditional academic settings where they can engage hands-on projects-based learning in more condensed classrooms. This program was designed specifically for students that had difficulty finding success in the traditional setting.

“Through the strength of our on-campus community, we’re able to connect with each of our students in unique and meaningful ways —  and help students re-engage in their own education,” said Jeff Liddle, head of school, Eagle Rock School & Professional Development Center. “Our sole purpose for existing — re-engaging youth in their own education — drives us toward a new vision for schooling where all students are productively engaged in their own education while simultaneously making a positive difference in the world.”

This is a year-round residential school that is located in Estes Park, Colorado with a campus sits on a 640-acre mountainside. Along with creating a more engaging environment for the students at Eagle Rock, the program also works with teachers from around the country to help them develop more engaging lessons for their schools.
