The Food School

We are a full day, full credit, grade 11 sustainable agriculture program - growing one acre + vegetable garden, intensively with a greenhouse for seedlings and cold crops in the winter, bee hives, hens.

 

The beauty of our program is that it is linked to the culinary program in the same school. All of our food is essentially grown FOR that school kitchen. . .www.foodschool.ca

Seeds of Change

We have recently started a 14 bed organic produce garden at our school. Community members will garden in the summer and our third, fourth and fifth graders will take over in September. Our goal is to have a working produce garden within a year, providing fresh produce to our school cafeteria and giving kids healthy alternatives to the typical school lunch.

International School Grounds Alliance

The non-profit International School Grounds Alliance (ISGA) is a global network of organizations working to enrich children’s learning and play through improving the way school grounds are designed and used. The wellbeing of children and the ecological diversity of their learning landscapes are intrinsically linked.

We invite like minded organizations and professionals to become ISGA members and collaborate to nurture and grow this international movement.
