The Edible Schoolyard is one of four Experiential Learning Pathways that frame the learning program at Upper Mississippi Academy. We have a teaching kitchen on our campus and all students participate in garden and culinary classes on a regular basis. Our school is interdisciplinary and mulit-dimensional and the outcomes and the values of the Edible Schoolyard Experiential Learning Pathway will be incorporated into all content areas and grade levels.
