School Reimagined
Check out Intrepid Academy at Hale’s latest video, and thanks to our friends at Boston After School & Beyond and Opalite Media for their work on this inspiring piece.
Nature and Community
When students venture into nature, the value of learning outside the classroom becomes evident. IAH students go beyond field trips, though, and have opportunities to experience and connect with the natural environment every day. The connections they make—with the forest, with each other—are meaningful and lasting. Once a student establishes a meaningful relationship with a place, it becomes part of their world. It becomes part of who they are. Check out Cassie’s story—after all, she’s the one who wrote an essay about this!
Overheard at IAH
Nature is the best way to change your mood, it can help with stress. Now I know that if one day I don’t feel good, or am without energy, I can just go into a park near me and go for a walk, or sit with nature, and it is going to help me be active.
Backed by Research
As part of the IAH curriculum, students read excerpts from a variety of books that highlight health habits that are important for humans to thrive. Beyond the Movement Lab where they practice fitness activities, there is a lot of research into a variety of topics. In the video below, Andrez shares a bit about his topic: insomnia. As he notes and shares with his peers, getting an appropriate amount of sleep is incredibly important to stay healthy.

Now I know how to take care of myself and I learned the exercise benefits in our brain. Exercise can change our mood and concentration.
