Burt Township School
About Us :
The Grand Marais School Forest is one of the biggest school forests in the United States, with about 1600 acres. Burt Township School is currently looking to build upon our school forest program by encouraging outdoor activities for all of our students. Our school forest director is working with community members and students to improve the hiking and ski trails, with better markers and signs and trail maintenance. We are also beginning the process of securing funds for an "outdoor classroom" which will be built on the site of the old "chimney".
Our school also collaborates with the National Park Service learning about the natural environment and history of our area. Out-of-town experiential learning trips are another excitement shared by our students and staff. This spring we will be working on creating our first school-community garden! Our Elementary school and High School Horticulure class along with the Grand Harais Garden Club will spearhead the project! Hands-on learning activities in the classroom and out for our students are endless!
Our top priorities are developing healthy positive relationships between all students, staff, administration using a philosophy based on showing courtesy, respect and dignity to others at all times. Our high school has a rigorous college-bound curriculum, with an emphasis in environmental science.
