Nature and Environment

One of the missions of Fanny Edel Falk Laboratory School is to guide students toward developing and maintaining a sustainable relationship with the natural world.

While a connection to nature provides benefits to physical and mental health, at Falk we wish to instill and deepen students’ appreciation of the natural world for its own sake.

To encourage our students to find, appreciate, and deepen these connections to nature, Falk has two longstanding programs aimed at placing students in conversation with the natural world: an annual environmental trip and Falk Woods, a land stewardship experience centered on the natural area located directly behind the school.
