The Great Outdoors

Outdoor Classroom

At Lake Superior Academy, our outdoor classroom provides students with a unique opportunity to learn, grow, and explore in a natural setting. This thoughtfully designed space integrates core Montessori principles with the beauty and wonder of the outdoors, fostering curiosity, independence, and a connection to the environment.

Key Features of Our Outdoor Classroom:

• Hands-On Learning: Students engage with nature through gardening, wildlife observation, and experiments that bring academic concepts to life.
• Montessori Materials in Nature: Traditional Montessori tools are seamlessly incorporated into outdoor activities, enriching both structured lessons and free exploration.
• Skill Development: Activities promote problem-solving, teamwork, and physical coordination while encouraging a love for nature.
• Environmental Stewardship: Through daily interactions with the natural world, students develop an understanding of sustainability and a sense of responsibility for preserving our planet.

Our outdoor classroom is an integral part of the Lake Superior Academy experience, inspiring students to connect their learning to the world around them while fostering a lifelong love of discovery.
