The Ecosystem Learning Center is located behind the school, it combines a stat-of-the-art, 1700 square foot greenhouse and supporting gardens with an extensive wetlands area nearby, providing students and teachers with great opportunities for research and a fantastic environment for writing, drawing, and painting, or simply communing with nature.  The garden area includes a pond with a stream, waterfall, and bird watching station.  A weather station located there is part of the science program.  The ELC is at the center of hands-on, inquiry-based science instruction at Carnage.
