About the Program:
Olander is a Project-based Learning school where relatively long-term classroom projects are used to bring about deeper learning. Our garden is an ideal instrument for this type of experiential learning. Younger students will understand where food comes from and older children will understand science and social issues in practice. All students including special needs kids will have the therapeutic benefits of digging in the soil. We will share knowledge gained with our community.
