Environmental Education

Environmental education provides numerous benefits for students of all ages. By learning about the natural world and sustainability practices, students can develop a deeper appreciation for the environment. This can lead to increased environmental stewardship and a sense of responsibility towards protecting our planet. Additionally, environmental education can improve critical thinking skills, foster creativity, and promote physical activity through outdoor learning experiences. Overall, incorporating environmental education into the curriculum helps students become informed global citizens who are equipped to tackle environmental challenges now and in the future.

At Trailhead Community Farm School, students have the opportunity to engage in a wide range of outdoor adventures both on campus and off-site. Recognizing the importance of utilizing the outdoors in education, our school curriculum emphasizes experiential learning in natural settings. Studies have shown that spending time outdoors can have therapeutic and mental health benefits for individuals of all ages. By incorporating outdoor activities into our programs, we aim to provide students with valuable learning experiences while promoting their overall well-being.
