Wilderness Arts and Literacy Coalition
July 20, 2012 by Bay Nature
The Wilderness Arts and Literacy Collaborative (WALC) is an academic program that utilizes environmental education as the central, unifying theme with which we integrate science, English, social studies, art, technology, and math. Field experiences such as hiking, camping, habitat restoration, and recycling are woven together with classroom coursework and provide the experiential foundation for a challenging academic curriculum. WALC is a teacher-initiated non-profit organization, ongoing at Balboa and Downtown Continuation high schools, both in San Francisco.
