New Member Spotlight – Blue Mountain WILD School

Located in Kimberley, Blue Mountain WILD School is a registered Private School with a simple mandate to reconnect children with the natural world and with themselves. They strive to create a new model of education that focuses on the whole student, evoking curiosity, discovery and a life-long passion for learning.

What is a WILD school? WILD stands for Wilderness Integrated Leadershop Development and is born from the philosophy that the greatest learning is found in real life experiences. By integrating provincial curriculum with Ecological, Outdoor, Experiential and Leadership Education, the WILD school model gives students the tools to be creative, compassionate and confident. As a result, their students are more engaged and independent, and more aware of the social and physical world around them.

Blue Mountain WILD School offers a full-time core program from K to Grade 6, as well as part-time programs and day camps for kids up to 13 years old. Find out more at www.wildschool.ca.
