Mountain Academy of Arts & Sciences Leave No Trace Statement:
Over the past nine years, sixth grade students in the Mountain Academy have explored and learned in the outdoors with the goal of empowering students to connect with the natural world and to become stewards for the environment. Along the way, we have used Leave No Trace and its 7 principles to minimize impacts as a guiding approach.
The Mountain Academy of Arts & Sciences strongly believes that students learn in many different ways and often learn best by doing and experiencing. By incorporating the 7 Leave No Trace principles into our science, math, and English/Language Arts curriculum students develop a strong sense of environmental stewardship through cross-curriculum learning. We then take this learning into the field for scientific explorations or adventures directly connected to our learning where students learn by doing.
Students who are curious about the natural world around them strengthen their desire to take care of it and gain the concrete skills and demonstrate respect through Leave No Trace to be leaders and teachers to others in the school, community, and beyond.
With pioneering science, hands-on training, and simple guidelines, Leave No Trace helps you explore the outdoors sustainably every time you get outside. Find out more at www.lnt.org
