We get outside to learn in nature

 

Significant cognitive, emotional and physical benefits result from time spent in nature. Not surprisingly, students who learn about and care for their community spaces make vibrant, lasting connections to the world beyond the classroom walls.

We support after-school STEAM clubs

 

After-school enrichment programs provide support and connection, meeting needs of students and families in a more flexible, informal environment. Diverse STEAM role models can also visit and share insights and encouragement.

We integrate literacy and the arts
