California Montessori Project-Carmichael Schoolyard Garden

Our school will have a ground-breaking in May 2012 for our school-wide garden. Our students have assisted in the planning of the garden and are excited to begin growing and learning about plants and the garden system.

The Oxbow School

The Oxbow School is a rigorous, interdisciplinary semester program for high school students, located in Napa, California. Our mission is to strengthen students’ abilities in creative and critical inquiry by combining rigorous studio art practice with innovative academics. The main focus of the program is studio arts, but an appreciation for nature and respect for the environment are inherent in the values of the school—every student at Oxbow works in the garden, through the science curriculum and the physical education program.

Palos Verdes School Gardens

Palos Verdes School Gardens is a non-profit organization that seeks to make our schools models of sustainability on the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

We want our kids to learn about conservation, smart energy use, how to grow food organically and responsibly and to care for their environment on the school campus. We want our kids to grow up knowing that their actions and decisions have an impact on the world around them.

Orcas Island Farm to Cafeteria Program

Orcas Island is located off the coast of Washington State in the San Juan Islands.  We have had an active and vibrant farm to cafeteria program since 2005 which includes our newly expanded garden, our K-8 Farm to Classroom, and fresh scratch-cooked meals in the school cafeteria using locally grown organic produce and meats.  

Open Futures

Open Futures is a schools’ curriculum programme that brings learning to life for young children. It champions a fundamental shift in how the National Curriculum in the UK is delivered, by re-focusing education on intuitive approaches that ignite children’s passion for learning. The programme inspires children through purposeful activities that develop practical skills and enquiring minds – awakening confidence, instilling responsibility and sparking the desire to get the most from their education and transform their prospects in life.

Village School Organic Vegetable Garden

We are just in the planning stages to develop and maintain a school organic vegetable garden in a 60 X 65 foot plot in our inner courtyard.
