Forest schools

---

@Ana_moderator I read about the forest school in an article it's really wonderful for the students.
Real life problem solving. Improve critical thinking. Playing outdoor games , living practical life, and they are very close to the nature.

@Heba-Ali-Mohamed A great journey in the forests. You really enjoyed and learn a lot of new points. My wishes are with you

Hi Ana moderator it is an amazing and interesting post .
The forest school approach, which emphasizes outdoor, hands-on learning in natural environments, can be highly beneficial for students. It fosters a connection with nature, promotes physical activity, and encourages problem-solving and teamwork.
In Pakistan, the forest school concept is still emerging, so there aren't many schools explicitly following this model. However, some schools and organizations are integrating elements of outdoor and experiential learning into their programs. Here are a few you might find interesting:

1. Karachi American School - This school incorporates various outdoor activities and experiential learning opportunities into its curriculum.

2. TNS Beaconhouse - Located in Lahore, TNS Beaconhouse focuses on project-based learning and often includes outdoor activities and nature-based projects in its teaching approach.

3. The Lyceum - This school in Karachi emphasizes holistic education and incorporates outdoor learning and environmental awareness into its programs.

4. Nature Carnival by WWF-Pakistan - Although not a school, WWF-Pakistan organizes events like the Nature Carnival, which promote environmental education and outdoor activities for students and families.

While these schools may not follow the forest school model exactly, they do incorporate elements of outdoor and experiential learning that align with the forest school philosophy.
Unfortunately I don't know any forest school teachers personally.but in this forum may be i meet such a brilliant and experienced forest teacher.

@FarhanMehboob
Aslam o Alaikum dear,

That sounds like a great plan, Farhan! I would love to travel with you to the Egyptian Junior School (EJS) if the opportunity comes up. It would be a fantastic experience to explore and learn together. I’ll also reach out to @Heba-Ali-Mohamed to ask if she can assist with any facilitation or arrangements for our visit.

Sincerely

@Heba-Ali-Mohamed your comments on Brother Zeeshan MEHBOOB @Engr-Zeeshan posts please

Hi dear,
There is an artificial created forest school named as CCS The first forest school located in Karachi side area, location can be traced on google Map. I've contacted them and knew how they are working. Because after this post I was alos curious to know whether there is some school working in Pakistan and I found it.

They are an inclusive set up and cater to typical & Atypical kids. School cater to ASD, ADHD, GDD, DS, dyslexia and kids who cannot cope with the conventional school system.

Since it is an inclusive school, nature & an unstructured school environment helps the a-typicals kids with their sensory requirements and typical gain a lot of confidence, explore and get to learn new things as kids are not confined to a typical way of classroom setup.

They are also trying to build a forest environment in an urban area and it's called an urban forest school.

So if anyone has opportunity should visit school.

@Samreen-Tahir Thank you dear for increasing my knowledge.

@Samreen-Tahir As-salamo-alaiqum Sister,
It’s wonderful to hear about CCS and their innovative approach to education! The concept of a forest school, especially in an urban area like Karachi, is truly inspiring. It’s heartening to know that they provide an inclusive environment that supports a wide range of needs and helps all students thrive in a more natural and exploratory setting.

The idea of blending nature with education to accommodate both typical and atypical students is a fantastic example of how flexible and adaptive learning environments can be. It's exciting to think about the positive impact this could have on students’ sensory experiences, confidence, and overall engagement with learning.

If you or anyone else has the chance, visiting CCS could offer valuable insights into how alternative educational models can be effectively implemented and adapted in different contexts. Thank you for sharing this information—it’s a great resource for those interested in progressive educational approaches!

Happy to know that these type of schools are present in Pakistan.

thanl you for the new
