Learning By Doing

The Pacific Education Institute plays many roles to promote a culture of independent, engaged learners in Washington’s schools.

We Connect

Children are naturally engaged when they are learning about their outdoor environment. Through interactive investigative inquiry lessons, students find reasons to come to school, stay actively involved in the curriculum, and on-target for learning.

We Contribute

By bringing vitality to the school curriculum, students are engaged in learning while becoming better thinkers and community contributors.

We Convene

PEI collaborates with tribes, industry, government and education leaders. Together we provide leadership for learning in the environment.

We Design

We design education programs with school districts by providing professional development and resources for teachers.

We Research

PEI programs are research-based to help students meet or exceed state standards.

We Provide

We provide high-tech equipment and learning materials for students to gain science and math learning that meets entry-level industry skill standards.
