OUR CAMPUS BURSA HAMİTLER DOĞA COLLEGE
This is how we start our mornings
NATURAL Learning Concept
The best method is "learning through experience” to discover and shape their own talents in a natural environment. There are opportunities for students such as horseback riding fields and ecological-agricultural grounds, where they can grow their own fruits and vegetables in a variety of botanical and zoological gardens.
Why do students haveHorseback riding Classes at Bursa Hamitler Doğa?
In addition to physical exercise, horseback riding has great side benefits. Riding improves balance and coordination. As a child progresses in their skills they develop confidence and a sense of freedom.
We have a small zoo at Bursa Hamitler DoğaAnimals teach children about caring and responsibility. Taking care of something smaller than themselves builds important character skills.
Ecology lessons at Bursa Hamitler DoğaStudents learn about plants, trees,
vegetables, fruits and how to grow them.
