School Overview

Wildwood Environmental Academy, located in Maumee, Ohio, is a unique public charter school that distinguishes itself through a specialized curriculum centered on environmental science and sustainability. Serving students in grades K–8, the academy integrates hands-on, nature-based learning into its daily academic program.
