| At Nature's Classroom students take an active role in
their education by participating
in exciting hands-on interdisciplinary classes. |
| The
process begins when teachers volunteer to bring their students to Nature's Classroom. Most
schools attend our 5 day program, staying at one of our 15 sites in New York and New
England. |

| Nature's
Classroom works closely with school teachers to
create a learning partnership that lasts a lifetime. |

What is Nature's
Classroom?
| Nature's Classroom is a unique educational experience for students and their teachers,
offering the very best in environmental education. We are a
private non-profit corporation. |
| Over
half a million children and 450 schools have come to view Nature's Classroom as a solid
academic experience. We have been recognized for excellence by the National Science
Teacher's Association, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the State of
Connecticut. |
|
| Having
spent a week at Nature's Classroom, living and learning together, students develop a sense
of community, a confidence in themselves and an appreciation for others that carries over
to the school community. |
| They
see their classroom teacher as a person and friend in the learning process. The
strengthened peer cooperation and expanded student-teacher relationships have an influence
on the cognitive growth of the students throughout the school year. Together, they return
to the classroom united through this shared experience to achieve the common goal of the
pursuit of knowledge. |
