Middle & High School Programs
Phipps' middle and high school program, The Fairchild Challenge offers unique ways to meet state academic standards across the curriculum while using the environment as an integrated context for learning. Building on these classroom experiences, the High School Internship Program provides real world experiences in the fields of plant and environmental sciences.
The Fairchild Challenge
Area high school and middle school teachers and students are increasing environmental awareness in their classrooms, schools and communities through multi-disciplinary environmental challenges designed to involve a broad range of students with varying interests and abilities.
High School Internship Program
