The Open Air School

Open Air Schools were educational institutions established in the early 20th century, primarily to address the needs of children with tuberculosis and other health issues. These schools were designed to provide a healing environment, often featuring outdoor classrooms and fresh air, which were believed to aid recovery. The concept emphasized a balance between education and health, allowing children to learn while benefiting from natural light and ventilation. Over time, the idea evolved, influencing modern educational practices that prioritize holistic approaches to student well-being and outdoor learning environments.
