美高以通识教育为主,是对学生基础的培养,在美国特别注重学生的文科以及艺术方面的学习和培养,科研仅仅占有很少部分。建议你在选校的时候,可以关注所申请学校的课后活动, 例如在Westtown, 有个课后的Club,叫“Green Coalition”,比较吻合你的需求,这是关于这个Club 的介绍:This is Westtown's environmental advocacy club. It's for any student who is interested in sustainability, environmental activism, or the outdoors.
再比如 Blair,有一个 “Earthshine Club”,其目的是:promotes the understanding of and commitment to global and local environmental causes. Members encourage the Blair community to act as stewards of the environment; educate and raise consciousness about conservation efforts and sustainable living; and craft solutions to ongoing environmental concerns to reduce Blair’s ecological footprint. 这些都比较符合你的诉求。
