Garden School

Looking for a way to help your child get excited about learning in an age of virtual classes? Garden School provides a joyful, outdoor, exploratory experience that supplements home school, virtual school, or part-time in-person learning. Trained educators will guide your child through a grade-level science curriculum with a combination of home explorations, virtual classes, and socially distanced outdoor programs that emphasize active learning with hands-on experiments, artistic creation, and nature discovery.

All Garden School classes are drop-off ONLY programs. Pre-registration is required.

Includes:

1 in-person class a week held entirely outdoors in the Garden after regular school hours
A monthly curriculum with hands-on activities aligned to NC State Science Standards
Classes for children in grades K-8
All programs led by trained environmental educators

Fees:

$25 a month for non-members
$20 a month for members
Scholarships are available!

In-person classes will be limited to 10 students at a time with multiple sessions to allow social distancing.

For more information contact the Education Department by emailing education@capefearbg.org or calling 910.486.0221 ext. 43.
