Children learn in and through nature, using the natural world as their classroom. Lessons are rooted in curiosity and real-world exploration—making learning active, memorable, and fun, embracing all learning styles and meeting students where they are in their learning journey.
Nature-based play and inquiry based learning support critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. Students develop a strong foundation in literacy, numeracy, science, and more—often without even realizing they’re “doing school.”
Daily movement in diverse outdoor spaces helps kids build strength, coordination, balance, and a lifelong appreciation for physical activity. Increased time outside with the ability to move while learning helps primary age students learn in a way that meets their needs.
Through collaborative play and group challenges, regular group sessions with our on-staff social worker, children build resilience, empathy, communication, and emotional regulation. Nature encourages calm, focus, and confidence.
By spending time in nature, kids form a personal connection to the land. They learn to respect and care for the environment, becoming thoughtful, responsible global citizens
Forest School values student voice. Children guide their own learning based on their interests, supported by educators who help them dive deeper into what fascinates them. With a ratio of 1 teacher to every 7 students all students have the opportunity to work closely with their educators.
Led by certified teachers, Forest and Nature Schools align with curriculum goals while expanding how they’re delivered—through storytelling, science walks, journaling, games, and real-life problem-solving.
Whether your child needs a weekly break from the traditional classroom or you are looking for a compliment to your homeschool program Forest School has unique benefits for all students.
