Youth & Learning
A living classroom where students learn by doing, and young leaders find their way into community service.

STEAM
STEAM Lab & Maker Yard
Hands-on science, technology, engineering, art and math: sensors in the meadow, drones over the prairie, robotics, and nature art, with a STEM Discovery Trail across the site.

Field trips
Classrooms without walls
Field trips to the meadow, greenhouse, pond and woods; a seed and book library; and history and science lessons in the Forest Classroom.
