About the Program:
We are the first Elementary Charter School in the State of Virginia! Our integrated curriculum has a large focus on our outdoor classroom and school gardens (orchard, vegetable garden, butterfly/history bayscape, rain garden and forest woodland.) We are currently growing food to supplement our school lunch program (we do not accept federal funds therefore are able to serve more nutritious options.) We have a wonderful partner in our community who ran a successful CSA that has installed grow boxes on our grounds, with plans for a greenhouse classroom!
