2020 marks the 30th anniversary of Mountain School at North Cascades Institute! Over the past 29 years, more than 30,000 youth have traveled up Highway 20 to experience an unforgettable three days and two nights environmental education experience in the mountains with us. In that time, teaching about the natural world has changed significantly, as you can imagine, and so we’ve kicked off a Mountain School Curriculum Redesign Project with teachers, staff at North Cascades National Park, Three Circles Center curriculum consultant and others.
The effort is an opportunity for the Institute to press the “reset” button and intentionally organize and integrate all program content to align with new standards, including Next Generation Science Standards and Since Time Immemorial curriculum. Special thanks to Discuren Charitable Foundation, Beardsley Family Foundation, and Hugh and Jane Ferguson Foundation for making this curriculum redesign possible!
