Outside the Classroom

Hands-on, experiential learning experiences take Waynflete students outside the classroom every day.

Knowing that play is as critical as sleep to a child’s development, our Early Childhood and Lower School teachers stay with their classes during recess, lunch, and snack time. This allows students to engage in deep play, where they learn to set their own rules and roles. As they manage a mud-pie kitchen or strategize the fastest route down the sledding hill, our youngest learners are also tackling big challenges, acquiring new skills and interests, working with others—and having fun.

In Middle and Upper School, students’ worlds and capabilities expand and so does their capacity for wonder. Whether they are sampling water quality in protected marshland, witnessing a naturalization ceremony, or working with real NASA scientists to measure asteroids, they are seeing firsthand what the world has to offer them—and what they can offer the world.

OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM

The world is waiting

Early Childhood Outside the Classroom

Outside and on the move every day.

Lower School Outside the Classroom

Outdoors in all weather to explore the wider world.

Middle School Outside the Classroom

Hands-on, real-world learning means getting out in the world.

Upper School Outside the Classroom

Immersive, hands-on opportunities to learn and explore.

What I also like most about Waynflete is the learning is not just in the classroom. Being outdoors, in all weather, is also part of the everyday curriculum. Bringing the class work outdoors really keeps the children interested in their learning.
