Nature

Connecting for a Brighter Future

Preparing for the brightest future, Earth School provides unparalleled dedication and commitment to students and their variety of needs, passions and dreams and connects these to nature.
Our connection to Nature is vital. Only by learning with Nature and sharing its wonders can we learn to live respectfully and ensure a healthy, vibrant existence for future generations
Young peoples interaction with Nature enables learning by improving attention, levels of stress, self-discipline, risk-taking, increasing levels of joy and interaction with other living organisms.
At Earth School we will provide an environment that actively promotes outdoor learning and interaction with Nature.

​

Outdoor lessons and projects will be the norm, not the exception.

David Sobel, one of the world’s great Education for Sustainability scholars says that our first goal must be to create conditions for youth to experience and fall in love with the natural world around them. Aiming to foster a love of nature locally, and to consider the developmental appropriateness of introducing environmental issues, should be a priority for teachers.
