University of Arizona Sky School

The University of Arizona Sky School provides place-based and inquiry-based science education programs to Arizona K-12 students. Using the unique sky island environment of the Catalina Mountains, the Sky School strives to merge a wide variety of science and engineering disciplines to foster a deeper understanding of our earth, while building an appreciation for sense of place. Programs are available year-round. Learn more at our website.

We also make available a range of educational resources supporting inquiry-based education in outdoor contexts. Most can be accessed via our resource wiki (lesson plans, readings, etc.) while others are provided during teacher developments.
