This approach promotes creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, preparing students for success beyond school.

Through hands-on projects such as student-managed gardens, composting activities, and farm-to-table initiatives, students develop practical skills while understanding the importance of sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.
