A revolutionary approach to food education

The Orchard School - Outdoor Education

A hallmark of an Orchard education, Outdoor Education is education in, about, and for the out of doors.

Direct experiences help students gain a deeper understanding of life around them, foster respect and an understanding of the interrelationships within the natural environment, and develop an appreciation of people's interdependence with the natural world.
