Therefore, the environment and nature plays a critical role in the learning atmosphere at The Compass School. The children often take their project work outdoors to aide in discovering answers. Nature becomes intertwined in their projects, creations, and investigations. With a large outdoor space, the children are capable and encouraged to use the environment to extend their learning.
Below are some examples of how nature has played a role in the learning at The Compass School.
