Our Campus is an imaginative seven-acre learning environment
featuring a working barnyard, tree house, pool,
gymnasium, computer lab, broadcasting studio, nature walk, vegetable garden, art room, castle and town square. It’s an incredible, one-of-a-kind environment for learning filled with classical music, imaginative murals and collectibles from around the world. This rich, colorful
atmosphere appeals to children of all ages. It’s no wonder many
students never want to leave!
CU’s Outdoor Learning Centers are a breath of fresh air for active young students. We’ve created realworld environments for hands-on lessons in ecology, biology, botany and chemistry. There’s a working barnyard where students can sheer a sheep, collect chicken eggs and feed the goats. Our Nature School Barn features a stocked fishpond, several rabbit hutches and all types of rocks and fossils. Students raise crops, from seed to final harvest, in our greenhouse and gardens.

Classroom Habitats
make visiting CU classrooms an adventure. Ancient Roman arches, thick Amazon jungle vines or giant Egyptian sand dunes immerse students in a unique country or region. For one semester, teachers weave the area’s art,
culture, economy and history into regular classroom studies. Students change rooms mid-year to explore a new habitat. |
The Gardens
at Children’s University offer a seasonal
assortment of giant sunflowers, peanuts, cotton and rice. Our
students maintain a number of gardens for realworld lessons in
planting, tending and harvesting their own crops.

CU Computer Labs
help students become skilled on 25
Microsoft Windows™ format computers and 17 iMacs™. Our
age-appropriate instruction covers Internet access and training in
the latest software programs along with video conferencing,
broadcast and media production.

CU’s Library
or Great Hall,
resembles King Arthur’s castle with its gleaming suit of armor and vaulted ceilings. A quiet corner for students to investigate current and classical
literature, library instruction includes Reading Counts and award-winning
literature programs to strengthen
literacy skills and develop an
appreciation for literature. On-campus research and other instructional
resources include print and electronic
encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases,
thesauri, and Internet access.
