Our Curriculum
About Our Curriculum
Each class focuses on at least one curriculum area. In class students focus on specific content and information such as understanding food chains, time lines, the process of succession, and community. Our classes offer important insight into concepts and information learned in the traditional educational setting. Students make connections between their field observations and years of classroom learning. The residential program, together with our curriculum, helps to form a cumulative learning experience where students are fully immersed in the outdoors, as they grow socially and academically.
At the Outdoor School we provide academic information and a positive experience in the outdoors. Classes are taught from a non-biased perspective. Our classes and residential experiences enhance the nature of our curriculum which is designed to improve thinking, strengthen citizenship, empower students to make informed decisions, and increase students' awareness of themselves and the surrounding environment.
Echo Hill Outdoor School lessons and activities support the Maryland Voluntary State Curriculum.
