Curriculum-Based Programming
GPI works closely with Darrington School District to provide NGSS-aligned lessons for a variety of ages and grades. All of our programs focus on a STrEaMs alignment that integrates different subject areas and engages a variety of interests within our students.
Elementary School Programs
Fifth graders learn about the four spheres and how it relates to our greenhouse!
Greenhouse
The greenhouse explains how greenhouses work, what we can grow in our greenhouse, and different things that plants need to survive and thrive. Throughout the school year, students help with planting, growing and harvesting different plants. The successes of this program are used in the annual GPI plant sale.

Forest Exploration
This program uses hands-on learning in the outdoors with volunteers and teachers. We focus on taking youth outside to form a strong connection to the outdoors. A variety of lessons and skills can be taught using nature as our classroom. Students in Darrington will often go to the archery range to wander and explore.
