Nature Curricula
Nature Curricula
By integrating curricula about natural resources into required and elective coursework in all subject areas, we accommodate different learning styles, strengthening the learning and making it more fun at the same time.

- Offer nature-related electives such as Environmental Science, Aquatic Studies and Marine Science.
- Place-based Study
- Math, social studies, science and language arts activities are integrated into the study of local plants, animals and water resources.
