Vision

Our vision is to create an outdoor learning space where more traditional classes can have an opportunity to work outside. We have a beautiful campus, and our school property borders along a river and walking trail, so many classes take advantage of outdoor learning already. We want to create a space that is an extension of a traditional classroom and would be enticing to more teachers and their classes. We want to increase the number of classes that take place outside the school space.

Our goal is by May 2023, purchase outdoor seating and create a space for instruction outside our school.
