Education at Wave Hill

Young children, teenagers and teachers experience nature first-hand through Wave Hill's education programs. Outdoor, inquiry-based learning is the hallmark of these innovative programs, which use Wave Hill's grounds as living laboratories for natural science exploration.

Wave Hill’s education programs give teachers tools for integrating art and science. Hands-on experiences outdoors enrich and fulfill learning standards, enabling students to make connections between ecology, community and the world around them. 

Wave Hill Education Programs are supported, in part, by The Barker Welfare Foundation; The Bay and Paul Foundations; Con Edison; The Lucius M. Littauer Foundation; The New Yankee Stadium Community Benefits Fund Inc; The Pinkerton Foundation; The Ira M. Resnick Foundation in memory of Jack and Pearl Resnick; the Dr. Robert C. and Tina Sohn Foundation; Target; The James S. and Merryl H. Tisch Foundation; and with public funds from The National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts, celebrating 50 years of building strong creative communities in New York State’s 62 counties. Sustaining support for Wave Hill and its educational programming is provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the Sally and Gilbert Kerlin Endowment Fund at Wave Hill for Environmental Science and Nature Education.
