COMMUNITY + NATURE

Why learn behind a desk when you can learn outside?  Why limit students to one building when we have a whole city to explore?  At The Balsam School our city and our environment are important classrooms.  Our students learn to adapt, be resilient, embrace new things, and find joy in self discovery.  They are in our community spaces (both natural and civic) daily. We go where the learning is. 
Balsam
Learning happens all the time and everywhere.  Within the four walls of a classroom is only one place to learn: there are so many more to explore!  At Balsam, our students are engaged learning adventurers who seek the thrill of learning in every moment and every place.
Nature
The benefits of exploring and connecting with nature have never been more apparent.  Study after study show that everything from stress levels to cognitive development benefit greatly from being in, and learning from, the outdoors.  It is time to get back outside.     
Community
Children are members of our community.  At Balsam, our students learn their role in supporting and influencing our city.  They also understand that there are many wonderful people, organizations and businesses that we can learn from.  We are from this place and will learn in place.
