Fox River Academy WHERE LEARNING EXTENDS BEYOND CLASSROOM WALLS

Fox River Academy is a public environmental charter school within the Appleton Area School District in Appleton, WI. With a focus on the Fox River watershed, core subject areas are taught through an integrated, engaging curriculum in multi-age classrooms. Emphasis is placed on empowering students to make critical connections between hands-on observations and learned knowledge using analytical thinking skills. Weekly field experiences bring the classrooms outdoors and inspire students to be passionate stewards and involved citizens.

🦆🍀 It was Lucky Duck Day at Fox River Academy and Jefferson! 🍀🦆

Students were greeted with a surprise duck and a special card reminding them just how important it is to come to school each day. 💚

A huge thank-you to Mrs. Porter and her staff for putting so much thought and effort into making this day special for our students! ♥️🦊🦆

Our wonderful Fox community is at it again! 🦊✨

Our 1st and 2nd graders have been learning about inventions and how habits of character—like perseverance—can help us create truly magnificent things!

Today, one of our very own Fox parents joined us to share his hydroponic invention, and we even got to see one of his actual patents! 🤯🌱

What an incredible opportunity to learn from someone in our own Fox community and see how big ideas can grow into real-world inventions! 💡

A huge thank you to one of our Fox parents for speaking to some of our students today about careers related to the environment. They even got to experience a fish dissection!

Foxes like to have fun!
This is from our engineer Ms Rochelle:

A student came in today, his hands softly cupped, the way you gently hold the most delicate creatures.

"I caught a bee! I caught a bee!"

"You DID? Oh my, let's see!"

*slowly opens hands*
