Thomas Starr King Environmental Studies Magnet

The TS King Environmental Studies Magnet provides opportunities for students to participate in a rigorous, interdisciplinary, project-based curriculum in which environmental literacy is integrated into all subject areas. Students participate in specialized electives and partnership activities with community-based environmental organizations.

The instructional objectives of the program are to produce learners who are aware of local and global environmental conditions and issues; renewable resources and recycling; sustainable gardening and food sources, health and nutrition, and the importance of community involvement and community service. This is incorporated into core instruction through project-based learning, interdisciplinary studies and supplemental experiential educational opportunities in partnership with community organizations.
