Fox River Academy WHERE LEARNING EXTENDS BEYOND CLASSROOM WALLS

Fox River Academy is a public environmental charter school within the Appleton Area School District in Appleton, WI. With a focus on the Fox River watershed, core subject areas are taught through an integrated, engaging curriculum in multi-age classrooms. Emphasis is placed on empowering students to make critical connections between hands-on observations and learned knowledge using analytical thin

king skills. Weekly field experiences bring the classrooms outdoors and inspire students to be passionate stewards and involved citizens.

🦊 Day 2 of Camp Fox is in the books! 🦊

Our Houses came together yesterday to tackle a big “Conundrum”:

💰 If a government had to spend the majority of its funding on ONE focus, which should they choose?

🚀 Option 1: Exploration
Invest in learning more about space and the deep sea.

📚 Option 2: Education
Invest in creating better schools and educational opportunities.

🌎 Option 3: Environment
Invest in protecting our natural resources and the world around us.

Our Houses worked together, discussed their ideas, considered different perspectives, and then created presentations to share their thinking with the group.

Here are a few of the House presentations! 👀

Do you notice a pattern like we do? 🤔🌎

We love seeing our students think deeply, collaborate, and use their voices to tackle big questions!
