OUR PROGRAM
Main Enrichment Class (JK-5th Grade)
Tuesday and Thursday 8:30am-12:00pm Price: $400/month
Main lessons address Mathematics and English Language Arts with an emphasis in Nature Studies. We have delicately curated our curriculum by pulling from multiple resources focused on the importance of outdoor living while also addressing grade-specific “I Can” Statements. During the Main Lesson students will work within a 10-12 person, grade specific pod alongside a pod-specific teacher.
**The Main Enrichment Class is eligible for charter funds.

“Being outdoors can inspire further reading about natural history, can give journal prompts for emerging writers, and may lead to a longing for nature-themed living stories, fables, and poetry. Nature study is not an extracurricular exercise but is fundamental to shaping the scientific skills children need to enhance study, observation, attention, and recall.”
