An accredited program for Grade 11 students interested in experiential learning in Environmental Science and other subjects

About this Event

A unique outdoor Environmental Science program for developing hands-on science and core competencies skills, as well as incorporating cross-curriculum subjects such as Food Studies, Culinary Arts and Physical & Health Education. There will be an emphasis on understanding the First Nations Principles of Learning first-hand. In this program, we study the earth, care for the land and the community, and have fun in the wild!

Who: All students who are eligible to take Grade 11 Environmental Science. It is open to students from ALL homeschooling networks [including Heritage Christian Online School].

What: Learning will take place in person at the A Rocha Brooksdale Environmental Centre located in South Surrey BC. The centre is located in the watershed of the Tatalu (Little Campbell River), with access to a salmon spawning river in a natural temperate coastal rainforest and to a working garden that uses sustainable farming practices. The students will be learning through hands-on activities and conducting scientific surveys as appropriate, to help them develop and achieve the core competencies of the BC Curriculum.

When: Tuesdays for 10 weeks (Sept 19 - Nov 21, 2023), 10am-12pm

Where: All programming will take place at the A Rocha Brooksdale Environmental Centre (1620 192 St, Surrey, BC V3Z 9V2).

Why:

  • It is a great opportunity to be outside! Nature is the teacher and classroom for this program, and it takes place fully outdoors in rain, snow or shine.
  • It is accredited by the esteemed Heritage Christian Online School (HCOS).
  • It emphasizes a place-based learning approach with core competency skills that will equip students to carry the learning to their own place and serve them well in their tertiary education.
  • It is a cross-disciplinary program in which students will be learning about Foods, incorporating Physical Education and gaining in-depth knowledge about First Nations’ principles of learning.
  • We believe strongly in empowering our students to learn and contribute to their community.
