Because of the Trevor curriculum:
n
students' own fascinations drive academic
and artistic breakthroughs.
n
field exploration takes students beyond
the classroom to New York's myriad resources.
n
creative cooperation, rather than isolated
competition, inspires new intellectual risks.
e city acts as teacher, laboratory, and canvas
in the Trevor curriculum. e first-grade bird study, for instance,
brings students to the Ramble in Central Park for bird-watching,
calls upon our neighbor—the Wild Bird Fund—for expertise in
urban ecology, inspires diverse artistic replicas of native birds' nests,
and fuels a student-made crafts sale to benefit local nonprofits.
