About The School of San Juan

The School of San Juan is a PreK-12th grade community School in the capital city of San Juan. We have a EcoSchool program that is being recently relaunched due to the effects of the pandemic.

For Climate Literacy our students represent 7th to 10th grades, and study Life Sciences, Physical science and Biology. Students who stay after school for our meetings with Springfield were selected due to their interest in Environmental issues and commitment to participate in all the Enviromental activities in our school, which is a science-based and community-based organization.

Acerca de la Springfield Renaissance School

Springfield Renaissance es una escuela pública EL Education que forma parte de las Escuelas Públicas de Springfield. Abrimos nuestras puertas en 2006 a los grados sexto y noveno, y hoy servimos a estudiantes de sexto a duodécimo grado.

Nuestra "Expedición de Aprendizaje Sobre el Clima" es una unidad de dos meses que se reúne todos los días. Incluye dos clases que suman 30 alumnos. Empezamos hace dos semanas, así que todavía somos nuevos en esto.

Nuestros estudiantes están aprendiendo ciencias climáticas, explorando un bosque y realizando observaciones de campo, y creando proyectos de activismo climático para que nuestros líderes actúen más rápidamente.

Sargassum (Es)

There is no government policy to deal with the algae, so communities must face the problem on their own.
