Environmental Science

The Ocean View School District's Environmental Science Program is based at Golden View Elementary School in Huntington Beach.

Learning through hands-on, minds-on, real-world experiences. Our vision is to develop young adults who are well-educated, environmentally conscious, and responsible leaders.

Golden View Elementary School's environmental science program launched in fall 2018. All students, in Early Kindergarten through fifth grade, experience a rigorous academic program, with environmental science integrated throughout the school day. Our professional staff, under the direction of Principal Lori Florgan, provide students with a safe, nurturing learning environment, which includes a beautiful 2.5-acre farm, animals, and vegetable and fruit gardens.

Here are some of the unique lessons and programs in store for your children at Golden View!
Caring For Living Things: Farm animals help children understand life cycles, reciprocity between animals and humans, and importance of making responsible choices
Recycle, Reuse, And Repurpose: Composting, recycling, and repurposing are key to going green
Farm To Table: through a garden in which children plant, tend, harvest, and cook nutritious food
Integration of California’s Environmental Principles and Concepts throughout subject areas.
