Farm School Maine Details
Our goal at Farm School is to provide an engaging and inclusive curriculum to educate the whole child to reach their highest potential as learners, peers, and citizens of their communities and the world.Farm School was born from the idea that children need to have room to be participants in their own education; to make mistakes, be accountable to themselves and their communities, respect each other and the world around them, and engage in learning in a way that allows them to feel successful. The current situation and related changes in the education system have allowed us to reconsider how kids should be taught and we have taken this opportunity to explore a new direction in education. Curriculum will be designed to include farm activities and engage children in all aspects of farm life while incorporating environmental education. The choice to develop a school on a farm stems from significant research touting the benefits of farm experience on the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of children. Studies have shown that children who spend time on farms in their formative years develop stronger immune systems, better responses to stress, greater personal autonomy, and higher cognitive abilities. So what actually is Farm School? Farm School is exactly as the name suggests - it is a school on a farm! We will have chickens, goats, cows, and mini horses as well as gardens and greenhouses. Students will be responsible for learning about and participating in animal and garden care. The goal is to intertwine academics with farm work in order to fully engage students in an immersive educational experience, while bringing back the one room schoolhouse ideas of mixed-age education. Students will learn about environmentally sound practices in farming and gain an appreciation for where their food comes from.
