Nature based curriculum

Field Station is centered on nature study and seeks to develop in all of its students a love of learning, critical and independent thinking, creativity and imagination, social skills, and improved self confidence and self esteem. Curriculum includes all pre-reading and math skills appropriate for the pre-kindergarten age group and more advanced instruction for the kindergarten enrichment age group.
