Imagine a world where the lines are harsh and unyielding, the textures are consistent and variation is unheard of. Does it inspire you?

Now imagine a place where the carpet changes every day, the ceiling is a myriad of different colors, light, shadow and movement. The feelings and movement completely surround you and unexpected wonders fly by...if we really want children to thrive we need to let their connection to nature nurture them.

Through in-depth experiences, students will leave Elmhurst Academy with an enhanced understanding of the environment in which they live, a heightened interest in learning, a deeper sense of connection with nature, and a greater willingness to act as good stewards of the environment.
