Description

This course is optional, but highly recommended to do at least once before high school. It consists of a guided weekly nature walk or observation, and keeping a nature journal. There are no prerequisites, and it lends itself well to combining multiple grades.

This is an experiential rather than academic course, and is enjoyable for children (and adults!) of all ages. We recommend setting aside at least a few hours, once per week, for nature study.
