On Jan. 4, 2013 grade five students went on an environmental field trip to Animal Encounter to identify habitats and niches of organisms, to identify habitats and niches of animals in Lebanon, and to relate human behaviour to the unbalanced ecosystems. Students had a tour around the Animal Encounter, participated in a game that shows the role of human in the corruption of the habitats and its effect on animals, took an environmental kit that includes dry fruits, and planted grass seeds there.

Animal Encounter Field Trip
Having a rich, green natural field around the school enhances students’ learning, interests, and attitude towards their local environment. Therefore, new teaching methods like inquiry, experiments, projects, and discovery are implemented in order to develop students’ cognitive, physical, emotional, and social skills needed to learn about the environment, in the environment, and for the environment. The school vision is to be a green eco friendly school in three major domains: curriculum, management of resources, and management of school grounds.
