This Week At Foote Podcast

"I love Foote through every grade, every second of it, for sure." These were the first words spoken by Levi York, a Foote School graduate of the class of 2023, when sitting down with us to discuss his 10 years as a student at Foote. 

The conversation went through all different highlights of his time at the school which included a memorable field trip at the Bronx Zoo. Levi remembered the experiential learning moment as integral to the Foote School curriculum. "I think it really takes the "learning by doing" and incorporates that by learning to interact in a public environment — and also just have fun with the animals."

This episode of "This Week at Foote" was produced, written, and edited by Foote fourth grade students. Think you are smarter than a 4th grader? Test it out for yourself!

Our campus — with its gardens, Sacred Woods, ropes course, playgrounds, and fields — is the perfect supplement to the learning happening inside the classroom. This week we asked our faculty to share their thoughts on the benefits of teaching outside the traditional classroom setting.
