South Shore Educational Collaborative

Our goal for the school garden is to engage students by providing a dynamic environment to observe, discover, experiment, nurture and learn through hands on experience and direct connection to classroom curriculum. Our hope is to turn our courtyard into a garden to be a living laboratory where interdisciplinary lessons are drawn from real life experiences and encouraging students to become active participants in the learning process. South Shore Educational Collaborative is made of up 4 programs and this garden will be a great opportunity to collaborate with other programs. We want a garden where students can gain hands on experience from conception to completion. This garden will be a great opportunity for our students to understand the difference between "real food" and processed food.
