Donate to our GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-keep-verdi-ecoschool-alive The Place-Based Education movement in the United States has been slowly simmering for decades. Place-Based Education is: the process of using the local community and environment as a starting point to teach concepts in language arts, mathematics, social studies, science and other subjects across the curriculum -

with an emphasis on hands-on, real-world learning experiences. Finally, as issues surrounding current trends in our traditional school system come to a head, families are seeking more effective ways to cultivate a joy of learning in their children while garnering superior results.

Once upon a time, the Dark Garden belonged to the Fae.

There were witches.
Faeries.
Trolls.
Goblins.
Scarecrows.
A unicorn.

And a path that promised to lead you safely home.

But gardens don't stay the same forever.
Something has changed.
Something has taken root.
Something has been growing beneath the surface.
And this October…
we're going back in.
But this time, the story is different.

And whatever is waiting beneath the garden…
it doesn't want to stay buried.
🌿

The Dark Garden: UNDERGROWTH.
18+ immersive horror.

THE GARDEN IS WAITING

For years, the Dark Garden has been a place where stories came to life.

It began with students imagining a world of Faeries, witches, trolls and creatures hiding along an enchanted path.

The story changed.

The garden changed.

And now something new has taken root.

Undergrowth is the next chapter.

But this time, you're not entering a fairy tale.

You're entering an investigation.

And the garden is waiting for you.

Before there was Undergrowth…

There was a story.

The Dark Garden began with Verdi EcoSchool students imagining a world where the ordinary rules no longer applied.
A world ruled by a Faerie King.
A world where curious humans could be lured through an enchanted garden and become trapped forever.

And then came the question:
What if we brought that story to life?
A script became characters.
Characters became sets.
Sets became an interactive trail through Verdi EcoSchool's campus.
And suddenly, the story wasn't something you simply read.

You could walk into it.

Because before the Dark Garden grew…
it began with imagination.

Welcome to the beginning!

Undergrowth is coming to the district starting October 9 - go to verdiecoschool.org/events then get your tickets TODAY!

🗓 Fridays & Saturdays
📅 October 9–30
🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Did You Know?

Through our partnership with Cirque Athletics, students have the opportunity to choose Circus Athletics as their PE class, exploring aerial arts on the trapeze, lyra, hoop, and silks.

As they climb, swing, balance, and soar, students aren't just learning new skills, they're building strength, resilience, confidence, body awareness, and the courage to try something new. Every class is an invitation to grow, discover, and experience the joy of movement in a supportive community.

It's just one more way learning at EcoSchool extends beyond the traditional classroom and into extraordinary experiences.

Learning looks different when it’s rooted in curiosity, community, and real-world experiences.

In Verdi EcoSchool’s high school programs, students don't just study concepts, they live them. Through place-based, project-driven learning, each educational journey is personalized to students' interests, strengths, and goals. Whether they're collaborating on community projects, exploring local ecosystems, creating solutions to real challenges, or learning alongside peers and mentors, every day is hands-on, meaningful, and filled with connection.

No two learners follow the exact same path and that's exactly the point.

Discover an education that is personal, purposeful, and connected to the world beyond four walls.

There are a few spaces left for enrollment in our high school program for the upcoming school year - learn more at VerdiEcoSchool.org
