What do children do at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education? And how far is it from Center City?
The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education provides a hands-on outdoor experience. During the fall and spring, K-8 students and their teachers spend a full day there, and Preschool students visit twice a year. The observations and interactions at the Schuylkill Center lead naturally to science studies and allow for the integration of other subjects as children write nature-inspired poetry and explore physical education within the natural environment. The Schuylkill Center, located in the northwest corner of Philadelphia, in the neighborhood of Roxborough, is a 25- to 35-minute bus ride from the school.
