Outdoor and Environmental Education

Outdoor and Environmental Education programs engage students of all ages with an emphasis on exploration with a hands-on approach. Whether addressing the Dignity Act through our challenge courses or investigating Long Island ecology while at Caumsett, a local beach or aboard a fishing boat… we have programs to meet all students' curricular needs.

Arts in Education/Exploratory Enrichment

Arts in Education offers a wide range of programs that support and enrich the school curriculum, integrate the arts into education at all levels, and support the NYS Arts Standards. Activities in music, dance, drama, writing, and the visual and media arts may include visits to cultural institutions, in-school performances, workshops and artist-in-residencies, tickets to theaters, the development of arts-in-education curricula, student and teacher materials associated with arts activities, and professional development for arts educators.

Exploratory Enrichment provides experiences both in-school and at institutions that enhance traditional classroom instruction and provides an interactive means of reinforcing learning, using imagination and creative thinking. These activities support academic standards for Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Technology, Career Development, Environmental Education, Health and Character Education.
