New Horizon Academy Eagan Lexington Achieves Nature Explore Certification
New Horizon Academy Eagan Lexington, located at 4300 Lexington Avenue South in Eagan, Minnesota, has earned recognition for its Certified Nature Explore Classroom from the Nature Explore program, which is a division of nonprofit Dimensions Educational Research Foundation.
This certification confers on New Horizon Academy Eagan Lexington a number of benefits, including membership in an ever-expanding network of nearly 600 like-minded spaces. Certified Nature Explore Classrooms foster highly effective, nature-based outdoor learning.
“New Horizon Academy’s commitment to providing research-based and nature-rich learning offers a wonderful example to programs and educators throughout the country,” said Heather Fox, director of communications and outreach for Nature Explore. “These spaces inspire hands-on activity, creativity, play, and plenty of time exploring the natural world for children of all ages.”
These unique outdoor classrooms offer interactive, open-ended materials and elements that allow them to use their creativity, imaginations, and initiative. Research consistently shows that children who learn and grow in Nature Explore Classrooms exhibit enhanced concentration, develop creativity and problem-solving techniques, manage stress in healthy ways, and develop skills across the spectrum of academic and creative learning.
Nature Explore Classrooms have been developed by a team of master educators, landscape architects, and researchers in response to the growing disconnect between children and nature. The classrooms help fill this void by integrating research-based outdoor learning opportunities into children’s daily lives. Classrooms that are designed according to standards and principles described in Dimensions Educational Research Foundation’s Learning With Nature Idea Book are eligible to become Certified Nature Explore Classrooms.
