The Great Outdoors Classroom

Community First School is out in the Northeast Neighborhood learning lessons from hands-on experience!

Community First School strikes out from its base on the Swift Campus en force crossing over Gully Brook, the neighborhood's urban waterway located a block away from the school. They're kicking off the new school year in one classroom that is ever-evolving! That's right, thanks to the stewardship, advocacy, and programming provided by community partners like the Keney Park Sustainability Project, every one of Keney Park's 693 acres of Urban Forest is a community asset where a Community First School curriculum creates true learning experiences.
