New Branches Charter Academy

We’re an environmental school!

At New Branches, we believe students should have the opportunity to be responsible citizens in caring, respecting and learning about the environment.

We are proud to be a PK-8 school located just outside the City of Grand Rapids. Not only do our students have an environmental science class, spanish, and PE - Our students experience learning outdoors.

Every classroom offers environmentally focused lessons such as: weather, ecosystems, landforms, climate change, recycling, energy, and water quality. Click here to view all monthly themes >

Students have the opportunity to work together in our new garden and learn the food cycle from farm to table. They will learn how to prepare the soil, plant, water, measure growth, harvest, and prepare food from crops.
