The Balsam School

At The Balsam School, learning is not limited to the four walls of a classroom. Instead, the school believes in taking advantage of their city and nature as vital and integrated learning spaces. Students are encouraged to build their confidence and resiliency by pushing beyond the expected in a safe, yet comfortable environment. The benefits of exploring and connecting with nature, such as cognitive development and stress reduction, are also emphasized. Furthermore, Balsam students learn their role in supporting and influencing the local community by engaging with its many wonderful people, organizations, and businesses.
