Tuesday: Field Day Outing

8:30–8:45 am: All‑School Meeting A gentle community welcome to begin the day. Students gather, connect, and ease into learning with intention before heading into the field.

9:00 AM–12:00 pm: Field Day Outing: students explore natural spaces in and around the Puget Sound to observe, wonder, and study our local environment. These outings are designed to nurture curiosity, environmental stewardship, and a deep sense of place.

During our Field Day Outing, students engage in authentic fieldwork: observing, sketching, note‑taking, and collecting data. When they return to campus, they apply their discoveries across math, literacy, and integrated science, transforming real‑world observations into meaningful academic learning.

Currently for the summer

Explanation of Block Classes:

Students will rotate between these classes, giving them a rich, well‑rounded learning experience. Most summer programs in our community offer a single theme for several hours a day — one long block of art, or STEM, or sports. Evergreen Crest Academy takes a different approach. As a microschool, we use a true class‑rotation model, similar to a school day, where students move through Math, ELA, Science, and an environmentally integrated block.

This structure keeps learning fresh and engaging while giving students multiple entry points to explore ideas. Each class is intentionally connected to our environmental theme, so students see how math, literacy, and science come alive through the natural world around them.

Our rotation model provides:

  • Balanced learning — no long stretches of one subject

  • High engagement — movement, variety, and hands‑on work

  • Integrated thinking — concepts build across classes

  • Real‑world relevance — every subject ties back to place‑based learning

This is what makes Evergreen Crest Academy’s summer program unique: it’s not a camp, and it’s not a traditional summer school. It’s a microschool experience — small, intentional, academically meaningful, and rooted in the environment that surrounds us.
