Environmental Education

School of Wonder is committed to providing experiential programs that follow action-oriented curriculums focused on environmental awareness. Our programs teach elementary school children about our shared planet, while engaging them in wonder-filled fantasy quests to become Guardians of the Earth.

Kids learn about natural phenomena through poetic explorations and scientific investigations. After discovering nature’s balances and imbalances, they are prompted to take action. Through various activities like park clean-up, social intervention (i.e. Gaia’s Classroom), and making earth-friendly changes in their lives, children begin to understand the impacts that humans have on the planet while also becoming empowered about their ability to make a difference!

By personifying nature as the mythological character of Gaia (“Adventures with Gaia”), children can explore the state of our environment through a lens of wonder and curiosity instead of fear.

In addition to the environmental focus of our programs, our curriculum also teaches social-emotional skills that help children develop inner strength and self awareness that is essential for coping with the challenges of the 21st Century.
