Outdoor Learning Spaces

One of the many benefits of being situated in the heart of a 17-acre University is the opportunity to learn in outdoor spaces. Students enjoy being outside as much as possible, and various locations have become favorites for academic instruction, collaboration, and recreation:

  • “The Green” is a large green outdoor space in front of Tiernan Hall where students enjoy recreational activities, book clubs, science lessons, and journal writing.
  • “The Porch” is a large wrap-around portico on University Commons. Steps away from Tiernan Hall, students can gather to work and enjoy meals under the protective roof.
  • “The Outdoor Classroom” is an enclosed space with a bridge and walkways surrounding a picturesque garden. Children learn, explore, and play in this space daily.
  • “The Waterfall” is a beautiful and reflective space in front of University Commons where students can work, read, and engage in collaborative projects.

Technology

CLS students learn to use technology seamlessly throughout their course of study. Through devices, students learn the basics of laptop use and keyboard/mouse skills. They use Gmail and Alma to communicate with teachers and classmates. The Learning Management System and School Information System (LMS/SIS) are used for more formal communications and curriculum, and students become acclimated to this specialized software.

Children learn to write and format academic papers using Google Docs, create presentations collaboratively using Canva and Google Slides, manage data through Google Forms and Sheets, and appropriately use Google Search for research in class.

  • An Elmo document viewer for each classroom and a large display with wireless casting capability
  • An iPad for each student
  • A Chromebook for each student third grade and above
  • Shared Chromebook for younger students
