Mission Statement
The Mission of the School in the Woods, dedicated to the study of natural sciences, is to inspire a small group of fourth grade students in the pursuit of lifelong learning through direct interaction with living systems, integrated into an academically challenging curriculum in a safe environment. Our naturalists will share their deep appreciation of the natural world with the larger community.
