EnviroEd - "Explorations"Experiential learning is taken out of the classroom and on to our 88-acre campus during the annual fourth and fifth grade environmental program, “Explorations”. The program's curriculum alternates yearly between science and historical themes. Canoeing, camping, developing leadership skills, conducting experiments, talking with historical ghosts, and creating through the arts are just a few of the highlights of this unique program. “Explorations” is an important component of the Lower School curriculum that clearly expands the intellectual and cultural experiences of our students. In addition to the academic benefits, the canoeing, camping and leadership aspects of the program help build self-reliance and mutual respect in the children as individuals and a community. |
