At the Story Studio we learn by merging the elements of place with the power of story to invite, inspire and include all learners. Story studios are located in places within Delta that have rich histories and natural settings. Learners visit the farm, forest, and beach to learn in a hands-on experiential way. While students explore and observe stories of the place are woven into the experiences.
