Greenon K-12 School
Enon, Ohio
The core concept for Greenon K-12 school is the notion of redefining and unifying the classroom. No longer envisioned as four walls and a door, the “classroom” exists wherever the students are learning, playing, growing and becoming. These activities occur in spaces defined by walls, and in spaces bound only by the students’ imagination.
Although the Extended Learning Area (ELA) is not a new concept, enabling it to be a conduit of learning between the more defined indoor spaces and the less defined outdoor spaces was a challenge when organizing the learning communities. Wrapping the indoor learning spaces around the ELA to define a learning community, and then wrapping the learning communities around an outdoor learning space offers Greenon students direct visual and physical connections from indoors to out. In addition to the efficiency gained by this organization, the students experience a healthy connection to their indoor and outdoor environments as they move throughout the school.
