I think the idea of focusing on one extended learning experience outside the school is a great idea. This will break up the regular school-day routine, and may also provide some hands-on experiences and activities.
Students deserve a little time away from the regular school schedule. During my junior year of high school, we had a career week where we signed up to job shadow someone in a field we may be interested in going into. It was a great opportunity that many of us benefited from. My senior year we also had a volunteer week where we got to help out at local organization. I think these types of experiences, as well as subject specific activities, are great opportunities for students to participate in.
