Teachers at William Foster often take their classes outdoors to diversify the learning experience and engage learners differently. For example, science classes observe, collect and analyze plant life around the school. Students love getting their hands on nature and learning more about local ecosystems.

Teachers develop innovative ways to engage students through classroom demonstrations, teaching students the real-life application of lessons. At William Foster, students learn and grow into future scholars.
