Teton Science School

"Children should be inventors of their own theories, critics of others' ideas, analyzers of evidence, and makers of their own personal marks on this most complex world."

Deborah Miller, legendary inner-city principal

2025-2026 School Year

Fifth graders from Edith Bowen have been attending Teton Science School since the spring of 1990--a tradition that spans three and a half decades and is an integral part of the Edith Bowen Laboratory School experience. Teton Science School engages students in real field-based science, fosters relationships, builds community, and provides leadership skills for our students--all of which pay dividends both in the classroom and life. Our fourth grade overnighter each spring helps prepare students and parents for the Teton Science School and the Teton Science School expereince helps prepare sxith grade students for the five-day San Juan River experience.
