About the Program: 

 We are a new Waldorf methods based charter school in Colorado Springs with Agricultural Arts and Cooking Nutrition as an integral part of our curriculum.  Although 33% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch, we have chosen to be independent of state/federal program - our students brown bag snacks and lunch. We plan to expand our gardens and growing spaces (which started on a parking lot bed) to help support a locally sourced school food and our existing cooking program. Our charter is unique in that growing food and teaching children to cook as a wellness initiative is integrated into our daily curriculum.  We would love to bring The Edible Schoolyard Academy to our Colorado school.
