Outdoor Education

Situated in one of the most beautiful and unique areas of our province, Hermitage House is committed to outdoor education. We integrate classroom learning with outdoor experiences to enrich our students' education. For example, science classes might conduct field experiments in our local forest, while history lessons might involve exploring nearby historical sites. This approach not only makes learning more engaging but also instils a deep appreciation for nature and our local environment.
