The Goddard School
The Outdoor Classroom remains a cornerstone of our school’s culture and curriculum. All teachers, new and experienced, received comprehensive training this year, encompassing both Goddard Systems University coursework and our innovative, in-house curriculum. We strive to make outdoor learning engaging for both students and staff. Recent improvements—vibrant center signs, beautifully rock-lined pathways, and refinished activity tables—create an exciting space for students and impress prospective families. Our Fall Fest transforms the Outdoor Classroom into a magical storybook walk, fostering family bonding and community spirit through costumed fun and outdoor activities. Beyond academics, the Outdoor Classroom cultivates environmental stewardship through initiatives like a master gardening class and recycled bird feeder construction. Moreover, it provides a serene setting for extracurricular activities like yoga and dance, emphasizing mindfulness and a connection to nature.
