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

🍃🍂Fall is the PERFECT time to learn about trees! 🍂🍃
Thank you Barkhausen for helping our 3rd and 4th graders understand how to use tools to help our trees, how to identify different types, and that some of them have hidden sweets inside. This first field trip of the year was amazing ❤️

Mrs Kasper’s class had their first trip to the ravine! They want to work on a plan to improve this area for the wildlife that call it their home. ♥️🍃 They observed lots of wildlife, including a Cooper’s hawk, deer, and many songbirds. Thank you to our wonderful para Ms Sarah for tagging along, we couldn’t do it without you! 🦊♥️🍃🦌🐦⬛

That feeling you get knowing you have the best engineer in the world! Look at these photos our engineer took to share with our nature loving students!
🌿🦊 Did you say… Nature Journal?! 🌱🔎
Fox students of all ages are heading outside and practicing the art of observation! 👀🌎
Our 1st and 2nd graders took their nature journals outdoors and worked on capturing what they noticed using pictures, words, AND numbers. ✏️🔢🖍️
Because sometimes the best classroom is the one just outside our door! 💚🍃
🦊☀️ And just like that… Camp Fox is a wrap! 🦊
Our final day of Camp Fox was full of teamwork, problem-solving, and plenty of fun! Students worked together through four different stations, putting their collaboration and determination to the test. 💪🌿
What a wonderful (and WARM! 🥵☀️) first week back! We are so proud of the way our students jumped right in, built community, and embraced the Camp Fox spirit.
A HUGE thank-you to all of the families who volunteered today! ❤️ Your time and support are so appreciated.
Now it’s time to rest, recharge, and enjoy that long weekend! 🎉
We’ll see you back at school on Tuesday!
