Our classrooms are full of enriching learning experiences from watching butterflies emerge from a cocoon to hatching chicks and building models of the solar system to growing a hydroponic garden, we value every opportunity to add hands on learning to our classroom experience.
At St. Paul's we believe that education should be an adventure in learning so that students desire to continue this learning outside of our school doors and well beyond their school years!

But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Job 12: 7-10
