Admission Open House Birches School

Come and see what Birches School is all about--nature-based, mindful, STEAM education for K-6th grade.

Admission Open House
November 15, 1:30-3:30
Birches School
14 Bedford Road
Lincoln, MA 01773

Come learn more about our school where:

  • Scientists from area universities visit frequently, discussing topics such as silk science, ground penetrating radar, archaeology, bombardier beetles, and ocean engineering.
  • Every week, students spend hours in the adjoining conservation land climbing trees and identifying wildlife.
  • In the woods, we practice “mindful writing,” describing what we hear, see, and feel.
  • We begin public speaking in Kindergarten: students write and present every two weeks at All-School Assemblies.
  • Birches teachers bring learning to life. During our ancient history unit, we converted our sandbox into a gridded archaeological dig.
  • Travel along the Silk Road became more tangible thanks to a visit from Joshua the camel.
