Our students LOVE the outdoors!
Our place-based education program uses the local community and environment as a starting point for teaching concepts in language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, technology, and other subjects across the curriculum.
Extracurricular activities abound
Extracurricular activities include athletic teams and other enriching opportunities such as music, cooking, tree climbing, and martial arts. Classes are available through our Extended Day Program.
