EARTH SCHOOL

In 1992, teachers in Manhattan's East Village founded the Earth School on a dream: to create a peaceful, nurturing place to stimulate learning in all realms of child development intellectual, social, emotional and physical. Visit the Earth School today and see how that dream has flourished. Today it is a thriving community of over 300 children in pre-kindergarten through grade 5 with a teaching staff dedicated to the founding values of hands-on exploration, an arts-rich curriculum, responsible stewardship of the Earth's resources, harmonious resolution of conflict, and parent-teacher partnership... The Earth School's Mission Statement reflects the community's deep commitment to sustainable uses of the Earth's resources. We have worked to integrate eco-literacy education into all aspects of the curriculum.
