In a sunlit kitchen on the Mountain Academy Jackson Campus, Lower School students roll up their sleeves and get to work—measuring cornmeal, seasoning chicken, and stirring with care. But this isn’t just cooking—it’s learning in action.
Through this hands-on experience, students explore science concepts like chemical reactions and states of matter while gaining practical life skills in kitchen safety, collaboration, and following instructions. Each step of the recipe becomes a mini-lesson, blending curiosity with confidence.
With every sizzle and stir, students see that science isn’t just something you read about—it’s something you live. And at Mountain Academy, learning by doing is always on the menu.
