Out Teach Partnership Application 2026

Partner With Out Teach 

Thank you for your interest in partnering with Out Teach! 

Students learn through hands-on investigation, real-world problem solving, and meaningful exploration of the world around them. Our multi-year partnerships begin by co-designing and building an Outdoor Learning Lab - or enhancing an existing outdoor space – transforming the schoolyard into a vibrant extension of the classroom. From there, we work alongside educators through professional learning, coaching, and ongoing support so teachers are equipped to use the space with confidence and purpose. The result is engaging, real-world instruction that deepens student learning, sparks curiosity, and improves outcomes for students.

Schools receive: 

• An Outdoor Learning Lab or enhancement of existing space, professionally designed in collaboration with your school community, which expresses your unique school culture
