Providing a place-based education is a key part of what we do here on the deCordova campus. LNS children and teachers regularly use the sculpture park and surrounding conservation land as their classroom.
Throughout the year, children observe and respond to changing installations of sculpture, the work of staff and visiting artists, and the seasons.
The children’s voices have come to inform deCordova’s interpretive installations and programs with a creative and collaborative spirit. This is an approach focused on discovery through experience rather than delivery of information.
