About the Program: 

Every elementary student attends gardening class once per week, which are led by our on-staff Gardening Teacher, Scott Dubois. Our gardening classes focus on cultivating ecoliteracy, good nutrition, mindfulness, and persistence. These classes maintain our garden classroom and receive hands-on lessons with sustainability, nutrition, botany, weather, and ecology. The majority of the garden space is allocated to annual vegetables and cut flowers, which are either eaten during class or sold by students at a makeshift farm-stand to raise money for the garden.

Our Primary, Middle & High School campus's have recently installed gardens that are managed by students and parent volunteers. More to come on those soon.
