Learning Beyond Walls: Outdoor Education

Collage of Howbert Students learning outdoors

Does your child love the outdoors? Is your child interested in insects, plants, and animals? Do they enjoy learning in the outdoors? Then our Outdoor Education pathway is the perfect fit for your child!

As the only Pre-K to 5th grade Outdoor Learning School in El Paso county, Howbert Elementary’s purpose is to create experiential opportunities that spark learner interest and passion, connect learners to the natural world, and foster a community of empowered citizens.

We balance classroom instruction with outdoor experiences throughout the school year, providing an optimal learning environment for student growth and achievement.

Some of the benefits of Outdoor Education are:

  • getting students outdoors and active in their learning
  • offering an antidote to the plugged-in lives of today’s generation
  • improving student achievement through engaging learning about the natural world.
  • enhancing critical and creative thinking skills
  • Strengthening a sense of empowerment to make a difference in their communities.

If your child shows these interests, enroll today with our Outdoor Education pathway program!
