ABOUT CASEE

Our vision is to inspire a culture of awareness and stewardship in the world.

Battle Ground Public Schools’ half-day STEM program offers high school students an integrated curriculum in Science and English on an 80-acre outdoor learning lab.

Courses include Biology, Natural Resources, Environmental Science, Forestry, Wildlife, Chemistry, Food Science, Microbiology, Agricultural and Industrial Biotechnology and four years of high school English.

Students attend classes at the Center for Agriculture, Science, and Environmental Education on a 3-hour block schedule Monday-Friday before or after attending their home high school for a half day to round out their studies.
