New activity play areas on Oatland Island Wildlife Center trails, Savannah

Tuesday, August 20th, 2024

New installations include train play space, swinging bridges, balance beams, turtle stepping stones & more

Friends of Oatland Island is grateful for the generous support from the Courtney Knight Gaines Foundation in creating activity areas along the Oatland Island Wildlife Center trails!

Installation will continue over the next several weeks, but a new train play space is now open in the picnic area.

The wooden train pays homage to the previous purpose of the building and grounds – a retirement residence for railroad workers (1927-1940). 

Portions of the activity areas are already open and ready for exploration between the cougar enclosure and marsh walk.

Kids can enjoy the swinging bridges, balance beams, turtle stepping stones and more!

Keep visiting Oatland Island Wildlife Center to explore the coming features.

(Savannah schools) Aspire Savannah: a private school for ages 5.5-13 

Sunday, August 11th, 2024

Aspire Savannah private school offers lower, upper elementary & middle school

Assessment is a crucial indicator of what is truly important in any learning environment because everything that happens in that environment is downstream of how assessment is handled.

Aspire Savannah is an independent, private learner-led environment in Savannah’s Isle of Hope neighborhood. 

At Aspire Savannah, the focus is on cultivating a love of learning and becoming an expert learner by being actively involved in the learning process.
