Sprouting Creative Thinkers

When was the last time your child took a walk in the woods for math class or hiked down to the creek for a social studies lesson? At the Environmental Charter School, our students actively learn in the great outdoors, right in our backyard, Frick Park. ECS is a tuition-free school where high academic standards incorporate an environmental-focused curriculum that fosters knowledge, love of and respect for our earth, and the will to preserve it for future generations. Want to learn more? Join us at one of our open houses or call to schedule a personal tour.
