The Center for Place-Based Education at Antioch New England Institute
"We believe that the places we live in can serve as wonderful, meaningful sources for inspiration, education, and life-long learning, and also a springboard for understanding our global community." The Center is the source of many programs that demonstrate how effectively students can learn when they get out of the classroom and undertake projects in their community.

Foxfire
Developed in rural Appalachia, the Foxfire Approach to Teaching and Learning was a precursor of Place-Based Education. It stresses student involvement and action, thoughtful reflection, imagination and problem solving, and applications beyond the classroom for what is learned through meaningful connections to the community. In these classrooms, students build the ability to work collaboratively and assume responsibility for their own learning processes.
