The MSC Greenhouse

MSC’s Greenhouse Project Science Laboratory was built in 2010. Here, students engage with cutting-edge interactive technologies like hydroponic vegetable farming, solar panels, a rainwater catchment system, a weather station, worm composting, and a vibrant kitchen corner. As budding farmer scientists, students embark on an incredible journey through the entire growth cycle, from seeding to harvesting! They'll take charge of the hydroponic systems by watering, cleaning, and measuring nutrient and pH levels, ensuring their plants thrive in a hands-on, fun-filled learning environment!

New York Sun Works

NY Sun Works is MSC’s partner in education and maintaining the greenhouse. The Greenhouse Project Core Curriculum was developed by NY Sun Works in conjunction with MSC for use in the greenhouse lab and is an integrated part of the school’s curricula. The Greenhouse Curriculum allows students to meet the requirements of the NYC Scope and Sequence Standards while going beyond by learning about today’s environmental concerns. Students develop an understanding of climate change, population impact, water resources management, energy resources impact, contamination, conservation, food production, health and nutrition.

"It is with gratitude and humility that we acknowledge that we are learning, speaking, and gathering on the ancestral homelands of the Lenape (Lenapehoking) who were violently displaced as a result of European settler colonialism over the course of 400 years. The Lenape are a diasporic people that remain closely connected with this land and are its rightful stewards. We pay honor and respect to their ancestors past and present as we commit to building a more inclusive and equitable space for all.”
