They earn credit in Science 9/10; Socials 9/10; Entrepreneurship and Marketing 10; Foods STX 10.
This first cohort of this program will take place September 2020- January 2021, 1st Semester, at Edward Milne Community School. Our school is surrounded by an incredible local community, and next to the ocean, forest and mountains.
ECO Academy will be a good fit for grade 9 and 10 students who enjoy learning in nature, working together to address real world issues, contributing to community, and learning through hands-on experience

The remaining 40% will be actively integrated learning in a variety of settings; hiking forests and beaches, growing and preparing healthy and delicious food from a variety of cultures, working together in Community Service Learning, and combining this experience with deep academic inquiry.
