Nurturing Future Innovators through Sustainable Learning
As a proud presenting sponsor of the Waterdown Farmers' Market, Laureate College is thrilled to support the community's commitment to sustainable food practices and local agriculture. Their partnership reflects a shared vision of nurturing growth, both in our students and the environment. At Laureate College, they believe in hands-on, experiential learning that encourages students to become active participants in their education. Their on-campus vegetable farm is a vibrant example of this philosophy in action. |
Students from various grade levels engage directly with the land, cultivating a range of vegetables as part of our farm-to-table program. This initiative is more than just gardening; it’s a cornerstone of our STEAM curriculum, integrating science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics into real-world applications. From soil analysis and plant biology to sustainable agricultural practices and food production, our students develop critical problem-solving skills while fostering a deep respect for the environment.
Laureate College's commitment to sustainability and education aligns seamlessly with the Waterdown Farmers' Market's mission of promoting sustainable foods and supporting local producers. By involving students in every step of the growing process, from planting to harvesting, they cultivate a deeper understanding of the food system and instill a sense of responsibility for the environment. Additionally, the produce grown on campus is used in the school cafeteria, teaching students about nutrition, healthy eating, and the value of locally sourced ingredients.
