Outdoor Education Program
Bringing students outside to learn in South Canton Scholars' outdoor classroom provides students with an exciting place to learn. Students can connect with what they are learning in different ways by exploring with their hands and trying out real experiments. This also makes their critical thinking skills stronger and gives more understanding to what they learn in class and how it matters in real life.Learn More About the Program
