Schoolyard Habitats 


Our outdoor classroom—created in collaboration with staff, students, and families—has been officially certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Schoolyard Habitat Site. This recognition celebrates our commitment to providing meaningful outdoor learning experiences that connect children to the natural world.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

 Our certified habitat features native plants, shrubs, and flowers that provide food and shelter for local wildlife.

We are proud to be a Monarch Waystation, helping to support and protect the Monarch butterfly population.

Throughout the year, our students observe and learn from the animals that share our space—songbirds, squirrels, butterflies, rabbits, and even the occasional deer. These experiences foster curiosity, responsibility, and a love of nature in every child.

​“Nature is a child’s first classroom. Our schoolyard habitat brings learning to life through exploration, observation, and care for living things.”
