Travel back in time to discover the rich history, traditions, and innovations of the First Nations peoples who shaped the Southeastern United States. Students will explore tribal governments, storytelling, language, agriculture, foodways, art, and the lasting cultural impact of nations such as the Muscogee (Creek), Cherokee, Seminole, Choctaw, Chickasaw, and others. Through hands-on projects, traditional crafts, cooking, and interactive activities, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the people who first called our region home.

Become a conservationist by learning to identify, propagate, and grow native plants that support local wildlife and healthy ecosystems. Students will study plant biology, soil science, pollinators, seed collection, greenhouse management, and nursery production while building and operating their own native plant nursery. Along the way, they'll discover how native plants improve biodiversity and help restore natural habitats.

Explore the intersection of food, science, and traditional herbalism through hands-on cooking and herbal medicine making. Students will learn to identify useful culinary and medicinal herbs while preparing teas, infused honeys, vinegars, syrups, salves, oxymels, and other botanical remedies. Lessons will also cover plant chemistry, safe herbal practices, and the historical role of herbs in supporting health and wellness, emphasizing evidence-informed education and responsible use.

Step into the role of an animal scientist as we study the biology and care of sheep, goats, poultry, rabbits, and other small farm animals. Students will investigate anatomy, nutrition, genetics, reproduction, behavior, and health while learning the principles of responsible animal husbandry. Through labs, observations, and hands-on experiences, students will discover how science supports healthy animals and sustainable farms.
