The centre:
The Saturna Ecological Education Centre (SEEC) is an experiential, place-based ecological learning centre on beautiful Saturna Island, British Columbia. Our programs: We provide Southern Gulf Islands students with elementary Eco-Adventures and high school Environmental Studies programs. Curriculum Connections: Our programs connect to the BC education curriculum, while encouraging learners to go deeper, immersing themselves in the natural world to feel, understand and act for the environment. Our explorations integrate science, social studies, physical education, language arts and fine arts to create unique learning adventures that promote critical thinking, social responsibility and personal growth. While our initial focus is on the students of our own School District #64 community, we are carefully planning and working towards offering our programs to learners of all ages from everywhere else! Please let us know if you’d like to join us! Our methods: We believe in a multi-disciplinary, hands-on, minds-on approach to earth education that blurs the lines between school and community so that both are one and the same. Our passionate “environmentors” are a multi-generational community of islanders with special talents, knowledge and energy to share.

If young people are to be equipped effectively to meet the challenges of the 21st century it is surely prudent to seek out the very best understandings from current scientific research into the nature of how humans learn before considering further reform of the current system.
