The Greenspire School

The Greenspire School The Greenspire School provides an ecologically relevant, academically rigorous program for 6th-12th.

The Greenspire School is a public charter school that offers a unique educational program for middle and high school students based on purposeful connections between people, communities and the environment that sustains us all. It incorporates place-based education in collaboration with many community partners, hands-on learning indoors and out, Montessori philosophy and method, and small, multi-a

ge classes. The Greenspire School will immerse students in learning through biology and chemistry in relation to watersheds and rivers; through development of mathematics and geometry skills in relation to simple machines and building projects that are utilized in agriculture and the community; and through an understanding of the role of humans as stewards of the environment developed through the study of history and civilizations and their corresponding literatures, economic systems, physics, patterns of energy use, environmental impacts and technologies

In short, it is the intent of The Greenspire School to actively engage students to discover personal meaning in their work, and thus gain a sense of purpose and love of learning that will inspire and direct their best efforts over the long haul, within the classroom and beyond.

🌱🧄 Summer may be in full swing, but our students’ hard work is still on display at Greenspire!

Check out this beautiful garlic harvested that our students planted earlier this year. Their effort continues to bloom (and taste amazing!) even while school’s out.

🍦 Don’t forget! Our Ice Cream Social is this Thursday, 4:30–6:30 PM.
Come hang out in the courtyard, play games, and meet new friends — or reconnect with old ones. We can’t wait to see you there! 💚

🌎 A Big Day for Our Students, Our River, and the Earth! 🌊

Today, we celebrated a huge milestone—our Sturgeon Release and Earth Day Celebration was a success! 🎉 Thanks to the Sturgeon in the Classroom project, students helped release Billie-i-Fish into the Boardman River, along with two other juvenile sturgeon. 🐟

A huge thank-you to Kris Galoci and our partners from the Tribe for making this unforgettable experience possible. 💙

Students also got hands-on with a variety of Earth Day stations. It was an amazing day of connection, learning, and celebration!

Maple Fest 2025 was a sweet success! 🍁🥞

This morning, students jumped into sugaring season with hands-on fun—from pouring their own homemade maple syrup over pancakes to sampling local syrups, aging trees, and even tapping a tree stump!

Huge thanks to Fitz and all the amazing volunteers who helped out or donated materials. You helped make this day truly memorable! 💛

It was the perfect blend of curiosity, community, and a little maple magic.
