The Quaker School at Horsham

With this grant, we hope to expand our garden by at least 2 raised beds. Our garden has several goals: a hands-on science learning program; integrated cooperative learning experience; interdisciplinary curriculum. These goals all contribute to our philosophy that our students learn best by doing hands-on work in cooperative teams. These projects involve math, planning, critical thinking, collaboration, construction, as well as environmental science. Adding a gardening program to our curriculum has opened numerous opportunities for our faculty to expand on their creative methods for meeting our students
