SOAR Charter School is a middle school based in Land O’ Lakes, WI in the Northland Pines School District. They are approximately a 5-minute drive from Conserve School, so it is natural to have a relationship where we can host ecology programs on our campus with their students. SOAR Charter School offers project-based learning, which means they give their students the tools to understand problems and realize creative solutions. This encourages their students to gain the knowledge to become independent leaders in their communities while taking on their own projects.
Currently, SOAR Charter School hosts 57 very talented 5th – 8th graders.
Conserve School and SOAR Charter School are not only linked by geographical location, but also by a shared love of the Northwoods. Often, SOAR students travel to Conserve to participate in specialized programming. Some examples include tracking, night hikes, winter lake ecology, and owl adaptations. They participate in these activities as often as 3-4 times per semester.
Currently, our shared goal between the two institutions is to create a substantial list of programs that we can offer to any school willing to participate in programming here at Conserve School as well as instilling a deeper understanding of the Northwoods into students that don’t always get the chance to experience it.
As a special treat sometimes Soar students even get the opportunity to use the Conserve School sledding hill!
