Our Vision is to go beyond the academics, through our enriching experiences we will offer the opportunity for teachers to build more connection and unity with students. This extends not only from staff to students but also from students to their peers.
The best learning happens when students connect knowledge with experience. Being in the outdoors engages the five senses and leads to greater understanding and retention. Seeing trees, rocks, and streams, hearing the wind in the branches, and water over the rocks creates a memory. Even the smells and textures of the outdoors enhance the learning experience.
KEY LEARNING CONCEPTS
Environmental Change, Adaptation, Cycles,
Interdependence and Ecological Responsibility.
Through experiential learning, students will be involved in activities that meet the latest 5th-grade science standards.
