If you’re looking for a new and innovative way for your child to learn, Holistic Life Schools in Virginia Beach, VA has the perfect solution — our Outdoor Classroom! This space allows students to explore their natural surroundings and engage in critical thinking using inquiry-based learning. We believe that this type of holistic education is essential for the development of our young leaders, and we hope you’ll join us in exploring all that our outdoor classroom has to offer!
Taking Learning Outside the Classroom
There are so many benefits to taking learning outside the classroom! For one, it allows students to get fresh air and move their bodies while they learn. Studies have shown that being in nature can have a calming effect on the mind, which is perfect for those who struggle with anxiety or ADHD.
Hands-On Learning
Outdoor classrooms provide opportunities for hands-on learning that simply can’t be replicated in a traditional classroom setting. When students are able to see, touch, and experience the material they’re learning about, they’re given more opportunities to retain the information.
Connecting With Nature
One of the best things about our outdoor classroom is that it allows students to connect with nature. When you’re surrounded by trees, flowers, and other living things, it’s impossible not to feel a sense of connection and wonder. We believe that this connection is essential for the development of empathy, compassion, and respect — all important qualities that we hope to instill in our students.
