Cedar Class
Welcome to the wild! In the Cedar Class, students dive into the natural world through hands-on investigation, guided exploration, and collaborative learning. Using scientific tools such as field guides, magnifiers, maps, and journals, students learn through the process of discovery.
This is a time of deepening identity and social growth. Through shared challenges, group discussion, and team-based projects, students strengthen their communication skills and sense of belonging within a supportive community of fellow nature enthusiasts.
Whether tracking wildlife, exploring wetlands, or mapping forest ecosystems, students build confidence, resilience, and reverence for the living world around them—becoming not just observers of nature, but active participants in its story.
