This program is designed for primary-age students who are keen to take a deep dive and explore the science curriculum, guided by their senses, in the boreal forest. Using developmentally appropriate provocations and experiences, the teacher will nurture each child’s sense of wonder and innate curiosity about the world around them. Yukon WILD School infuses literacy into most things we do and this will be a core tenant of this program. Using phonemic awareness strategies and high-interest material from the WILD School Library students will further develop their literacy skills. Curriculum areas explored include Science, Art, Language Arts, PE & Core Competencies. Outdoor adventures will be tailored to group interests and may include hiking, biking, canoeing & nordic skiing.

Inclusive & Special Education
Yukon WILD School embraces all learners and strives to make the forest a place for everyone. Students deserve to feel supported whether they are in the great outdoors or in any other type of learning environment. For this reason, we believe strongly that if your child receives 1-1 support or special interventions at their public school you will need to make arrangements for this support to continue at WILD School. This extra cost is the responsibility of the parents/guardians. There may be funding available to you and assistance in finding the right person. Do not hesitate to reach out. Supporting student success is vital when learning outdoors.
