We are currently working with the Abington Friends School to design a much larger outdoor learning environment, AFS Outside. We are students of play in all its complexity and rewards. AFS Outside will be as central to the school’s curriculum as classrooms or labs. We admire the AFS commitment to an interdisciplinary, student directed environment — inside and out. We share its understanding of the power of play to create resilient, critical thinkers, engaged with their environment and community.
