In this environment, students not only become confident, competent academics, they graduate as compassionate, curious, creative, joyful, problem-solvers.
Mission:
Through intentional use of our natural surroundings and productive relationships, we use nature as a vehicle for our curricula while providing for the needs of the whole child.
