IslandWood Graduate Program in Education, Environment and Community

Live Learn and Teach in the Pacific Northwest

The IslandWood Graduate Residency in Education, Environment and Community, in partnership with the University of Washington, is a unique immersion experience in learning and teaching at one of the nation's most innovative and sustainable campuses. Graduate studies include experientially based courses in education and professionally mentored teaching of children from urban Seattle and surrounding counties in our four-day residential program. Using cultural and natural communities as a context for learning, graduate students teach children the importance of environmental and community stewardship.

During the 10-month residency on IslandWood's 255-acre campus, featuring a pond, bog, marsh, ravine, forest and estuary, graduate students complete 21 credits and earn a Certificate in Education for Environment and Community from the University of Washington. During a second year, graduate students can choose to complete one of several master's degrees at the University of Washington (Master of Education, Masters in Teaching, or Master's of Science in Biology for Teachers) or a Master's of Arts in Teaching with Certification at Antioch University-Seattle.
