Every Lesson Begins
Outside the Classroom Door
A small school where children learn by getting their hands in the soil, every single day.
Understanding Begins With Noticing
Ecoliteracy means learning to read a landscape: how soil, weather, plants and animals depend on each other, and how we fit into that picture too. We build this understanding through real experience, not textbooks, by digging, growing, and watching things change with the seasons.
Our ApproachPlace-Based Learning
Our woodland, garden, and pond are the curriculum, not just a backdrop.
Systems Thinking
Children trace where food, waste, and choices ripple outward.
Stewardship & Care
Caring for animals, tools, and each other builds daily responsibility.
Community & Belonging
A small, mixed-age community where older children mentor younger ones.
“The most important thing a child can learn is that they belong to something larger than themselves, and that they have a part to play in caring for it.”
