At Nature's
Classroom students take an active role in their education by
participating in exciting hands-on interdisciplinary classes.
|
| |
| The
process begins when teachers volunteer to bring their students
to Nature's Classroom. Most schools attend our 5 day program,
staying at one of our 13 sites in New York and New England. |
|
|
| Nature's
Classroom works closely with school teachers to
create a learning partnership that lasts a lifetime. |
|
|
|
|
|
Over
half a million children and 450 schools have come to view Nature's Classroom as a solid
academic experience. We have been recognized for excellence by the National Science
Teacher's Association, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the State of
Connecticut.
| Having
spent a week at Nature's Classroom, living and learning together, students develop a sense
of community, a confidence in themselves and an appreciation for others that carries over
to the school community. |
| They see their
classroom teacher as a person and friend in the learning
process. |
|
| The strengthened
peer cooperation and expanded student-teacher relationships have
an influence on the cognitive growth of the students throughout
the school year. Together, they return to the classroom united
through this shared experience to achieve the common goal of the
pursuit of knowledge. |
