GREEN HOUSE VENTURE

The Green House Venture is a unique STEM program taught in a working urban agricultural environment. The program involves more than 1,200 students in the participating schools under the Urban Education Alliance, representing a diverse socio-economic and geographic spectrum.

The Alliance schools include:
St. Margaret of Scotland (Parochial)
Mullanphy Investigative Learning Center (Public Magnet)
Tower Grove Christian Academy

The program is guided by three overarching goals:
Introduce elementary school children to a rich, hands-on experience that improves bio-science education

Increase student knowledge of and appreciation for proper nutrition, and encourage children and their families to adopt healthy and sustainable urban agriculture practices

Lead more students to potential careers in bio-science to meet the pressing needs to fill emerging jobs in agriculture and other STEM professions
