NATURE

We spend time outdoors each day because we learn from nature, it enhances our concentration and imagination, and it makes us happy.

Whether they’re planting in the garden, playing games on the Great Lawn, or building forts in our adventure playground “The Wild Playspace,” our students are connecting with nature.

Our students spend at least one hour outdoors everyday, with a significant portion of that time dedicated to play. Play is vital to a child’s development. It boosts cognition and concentration, and according to the World Economic Forum, play equips children “with the skills necessary to tackle humanity’s future, such as emotional intelligence, creativity and problem solving. To be a superhero is to lead; to host a teddy for tea is to organize; to build a fort is to innovate: to play is to learn.”
