LIVING SCHOOLYARDS
Not only do Living Schoolyards boost academic achievement, they are critical to a child's (and an adult's) physical and emotional health. Incorporating these schoolyards into the curriculum and lives of our students opens the door to a magnitude of experiences which will help our students develop global competencies, ecoliteracy, physical fitness, nutrition, creativity, collaboration, independent and interdependent skills.

​These schoolyards are rich with opportunities to learn the sciences first hand (instead of reading about them in a textbook), as well as opportunities to increase knowledge and understanding in math, language arts, history, geography, and even world languages, the arts and media production!  


The Living Schoolyards also contribute to curriculum projects related to many social and environmental issues, offering students an opportunity to experience at a young age "making a difference in the world".  No school should be without an authentic Living Schoolyard!
