Lesson Requirement Info: The scope of schools we serve ranges greatly in classroom size. In an effort to make our lesson requirements equitable, we have created three categories (Small, Medium, Large) of schools based on the number of TK-5 classrooms they have. The new MINIMUM amount of lessons to be taught during the school year is as follows:

Small School: 13 or less TK-5 Classrooms - 8 Wild Wisdom garden and 8 Wild Wisdom cooking lessons Medium School: 14-17 TK-5 Classrooms - 6 Wild Wisdom garden and 6 Wild Wisdom cooking lessons Large School: 18 or more TK-5 Classrooms - 4 Wild Wisdom garden and 4 Wild Wisdom cooking lessons

This will ensure that regardless of school size, students will receive a robust, year-long program.
