Hands-on Education

Educating students through our own charter school, through after-school and supplemental education programs, and through environmental experiences, with special emphasis on serving students who live in high-risk environments

What we believe:
For students, especially for those who live in high-risk environments, we believe…

  • our instructional approach emphasizing hands-on, engaged learning is highly effective, especially for those who have failed to flourish in more traditional classroom settings.
  • promising futures are within the grasp of all students if they are afforded access to a quality education that includes supplemental and enrichment opportunities.
  • environmental education is most effective when students can encounter the environment’s fragility and majesty first-hand, and when teachers know how to guide their students in active learning.

Living Classrooms Foundation provides a variety of educational programs that support our schools' efforts to boost student achievement and youth development, while motivating students to become engaged with learning. Living Classrooms implements a hands-on, experience-based approach to education that emphasizes learning by doing and is designed to reinforce important academic and life skills through real-world experiences.

By working with over 300 schools, and responding to the community's needs, the Foundation has been achieving high levels of success for students and schools.
