At the American International School of Budapest, authentic learning often grows from the ground up. Over the past year, students in our Organic Gardening Club embodied a commitment to our mission by transforming a hands-on project into a meaningful, year-long experience. From germinating seeds last spring to building rich, organic soil and sustainably managing pests, students immersed themselves in a long-term inquiry. This outdoor, experiential learning provided them with a broad range of relevant and authentic learning experiences, fostering a sense of ownership and a deep understanding of their natural surroundings.
