The da Vinci Academy

The goal of this garden is to provide an outdoor learning environment for our school. Students, staff and the community will benefit from the beauty of the space, the harvest it yields, and the education it provides. Students will learn to care for and become active participants in their environment. They will be able to extend their learning beyond the classroom walls and into hands-on activities. We will strengthen our arts integration mission by incorporating the aesthetic aspects of the garden into many learning areas, like movement, science, art and writing. The learning experiences in the garden will support the state standards in a variety of areas with an emphasis on science.
