Nature-Based Curriculum

A Nature-Based Curriculum is an educational approach that integrates outdoor environments and natural elements into learning. It emphasizes hands-on experiences with nature—like exploring plants, animals, and ecosystems—to foster curiosity, creativity, and environmental awareness. This approach supports social, emotional, and cognitive development by connecting children to the natural world, encouraging active learning, and promoting sustainability. It can be used across various subjects and ages, helping learners develop a deep respect for nature while enhancing their overall educational experience through experiential, outdoor activities.
