The NRCCS uses a “Place-Based” approach to education that is closely aligned with the Colorado Content Standards. Place-based education is rooted in experiential learning and employs practical outdoor experiences to ground learning in a sense of environment. In addition, our commitment to experiential learning is supplemented by two curricular approaches: Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound (ELOB) and Service Learning. For example, student-owned projects enable the students at NRCCS to learn academic subjects while connecting to the people and places in our community. All three of these educational programs encourage our students to use their “place” as a learning resource, incorporating direct learning experiences into core curricular activities.
