Welcome to Fall at Ligon (even if you are at home)!

At Ligon, we believe that the best learning is embedded in nature! Even though our world is facing uncertain circumstances, we are striving to provide students, teachers and families with alternative learning opportunities that are engaging and allow for everyone to stay safe and healthy.


Join Ranger Jason as he brings Fall Lessons from Ligon to you at home! He will explore different topics and activities related to nature focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
