The “e” inc. Edge

Residency Model

We are the only nonprofit in Greater Boston that delivers environmental science education in a residency model. By embedding our educators directly in schools, afterschool programs, community centers, and even homeless shelters, through weekly programming, we allow strong and trusted relationships to flourish between educators and students.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is uniquely broad, rigorous, and standards-aligned (MCAS) allowing schools to choose from among 17 different subject areas that best align with their own academic goals for each year.

Hands-on Natural Science

We teach foundational science concepts through the lens of the Natural World. While others may focus on environmental challenges or nature appreciation, we focus on the “why” and “how” of the science guiding science systems. We believe that science is the environment—and that helping students understand the natural systems around them is key to developing scientifically literate and environmentally conscious citizens.

Science Where Most Needed

We reach students where they are. Our programs serve diverse learners in under-resourced communities, and we adapt instruction to meet the needs of English-language learners, students with learning differences, and those facing social and economic barriers to success.

Developing Environmental Stewardship

We bridge knowledge with empowerment. “e” inc. doesn’t just teach facts; rather we equip students to take action, solve problems, and see themselves as capable environmental citizens and future leaders.
