In line with the Montessori philosophy of hands-on study and nature appreciation, classroom work is facilitated with abundant visits outside.
Every other week students volunteer at a local nature center, feeding several permanent residents. Volunteer work fosters responsibility, connection, and a sense of care for others that cannot be taught in a classroom.
Besides volunteering at the nature center, we typically spend one day a week outside of the classroom. Our outings range from excursions to nearby local parks, nature hikes, libraries, and visitor centers, to trips to museums, educational programs, art galleries, and historical sites.
