Holy Family Catholic Academy

Our outdoor classroom is truly a unique place to play and learn! Expanding learning outside the classroom is consistent with HFCA’s data-driven approach to our curriculum. Studies support that exposing students to nature:

-helps improve students’ concentration,
-boosts creativity and collaboration,
-nurtures the mind, body, and soul,
-teaches students the importance of caring for God’s creation, a major tenet of Catholic Social
Teachings.

As an International Baccalaureate World School, our outdoor classroom is aligned with our goals of:
-developing students’ natural curiosity,
-promoting an independent spirit to explore new roles and ideas, and
-emphasizing the importance of intellectual, physical, and emotional balance needed to achieve
-personal well-being.
