Outdoor Classroom

The Outdoor Classroom at Red Bridge is an extension of the indoor classroom.  Beyond the playground we have a large field, a beautiful nature trail, and a wonderful stone platform that serves as a classroom for our students. 

​​

Our outdoor classroom is a large area where children are encouraged

to interact with the natural world around them, with direct and indirect lessons. These lessons can take the form of either play-based activities or multi-sensory activities.     

​​

The outdoor world is a fascinating place for many young children, and as a result they tend to show a natural curiosity towards it.  By recognizing this curiosity, we offer different experiences children can have with nature.  We as a school are promoting learning both inside and outside of the classroom. 

​

Research shows outdoor learning experiences positively impact not only children’s physical development, but also their academic performance, peer interaction,

and emotional well-being.
