Our Programs

Environmental Science Program

The environmental innovative science program at Sawgrass Springs Middle serves to create a generation of environmental stewards. Weaving environmental science through the curriculum allows students to re-engage with school in a hands-on, project-based learning format. We strive to help students to see that they are the changemakers for environmental action. Students engage in elective courses through all grade levels, culminating in a high school credit elective in 8th grade. All grade levels also interweave a common essential question to incorporate environmental studies through all content areas.
