Outdoor & Ecological Learning

The qathet School District is committed to delivering learning opportunities that include Outdoor and Ecological Learning. Outdoor Learning is an active, experiential approach to learning that connects learners to place, while ecological learning fosters an appreciation and stewardship of ecosystems. 

Our District supports the extension of teaching and learning into outdoor spaces that helps students develop connections to place and the land. Outdoor, place-based learning opportunities are conducted in a manner that respects Indigenous principles of learning and prioritize sustainability and ecological literacy.  This approach to learning promotes mental and physical well-being, and encourages engagement through active, student-centred experiences.
