School Specialists

At CBI Forest School, learning occurs everywhere, and it happens with a number of different teachers. In addition to the guidance and care of their classroom teachers, our students have the opportunity to learn from a wonderful team of specialists, who bring their own passions, knowledge, and creativity to our community. Through Nature Studies, Jewish Studies, and Art, children will explore new ideas, develop new skills, and see the world through different lenses. These experiences add depth and richness to their classroom learning while giving children even more opportunities to wonder, create, connect, and grow.
