In addition to supporting nutritious eating habits, the Healthy Food Program creates numerous opportunities for practical living experiences: Food Shopping, Budgeting, Menu Planning, Food Prep and Service, Clean up. Students are offered a light breakfast/snack in the morning, a full mid-day meal, and access to fruits and vegetables throughout the day. At the midday meal, all staff and students sit together. We address where the ingredients came from, learn about healthy eating habits and nutrition, and finally a moment of peace for individual reflection and appreciation. https://www.maplehillschoolandfarm.org/supportus daily 0.75 2020-07-30 https://www.maplehillschoolandfarm.org/joinus daily 0.75 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebd6745e3bec92645959e9f/1595260590088-XJJ7GWY2FWWF9PEHL2GI/americorps-maplehill2.jpg Join Our Team - AmeriCorps Farm-to-school Member & Community Service Member AmeriCorps members are an integral part of Maplehill, beloved and appreciated by staff and students alike.

Students work individually or in small groups of two to four. In additional to Core Academics, students explore personal interests and electives, receive counseling, transition planning assistance, and ongoing special education support (if needed) from licensed Special Educators. We teach nurturing and restorative practices, self-reflection, clear and empathic communication, personal resilience, and taking care. Our curriculum blends traditional academics with experiential learning and a course of study tailored to students’ interests and curiosity. We are committed to land-based learning that is rooted in milieu therapy and in nurturing authentic relationships between students, staff, volunteers, and community members. Students who are successful at Maplehill School tend to be more responsive to relationship-based interventions and supports than behavior modification. After grade 7, students at our Greatwood Campus Program will either move into Maplehill School’s middle- and high school program or re-enter their sending school. We address each student’s specific needs with accommodations that work, and with a focus on four main areas: Functional academics Social literacy Experiential learning Artistic expression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebd6745e3bec92645959e9f/8340b052-8160-4b97-9184-093493f82302/pexels-jonathan-petersson-421759.jpg Greatwood Campus Program - GCP Summer Program 4 Weeks: July The Summer Program supports students’ academic and enrichment needs.
