Building a Sustainable Future
Our agricultural projects are redefining hands-on learning through student-driven infrastructure developments, including raised garden beds, hoop houses, and plans for compost bins and chicken tractors that will introduce students to regenerative farming techniques.
These efforts are part of a larger vision to create a sustainable, student-led farm integrating no-till farming, carbon capture, agroforestry, and hydroponics.
A Student-Led Commitment
Every project at North Campus is student-driven.
From designing irrigation systems to building raised beds, our students are taking an active role in shaping this land, which is at the heart of experiential learning.
North Campus is a creative and nurturing environment where students, educators, and community members can come together to build, innovate, and develop solutions for the future beyond their time at the School.
