Building a community of lifelong learners!
About Us
Our Philosophy
Our program is based on the understanding that the child-led exploration found in forest school models, along side innovative curriculum, is the foundation to a strong whole child education.
We believe the people that will thrive over the coming years will be the ones that can adapt easily, think outside the box, and create logical steps to get from point A to point B. Solid decision-making skills, character, and instinct are traits that should be nurtured throughout a student’s learning experience, starting in the earliest years.
Our Mission
Our mission is to guide and support students through our unique nature-based education model that fosters critical thinking skills, emotional intelligence, and connection to
instinct and intuition.
We create an environment where a student can cultivate problem solving skills and learn to adapt with ease, while building a solid foundation in curriculum that meets North Carolina state standards.
Our Approach
Children learn through play and open ended provocations. We encourage our students to explore, climb, and even dance in the rain (when it is safe). We create opportunities for artistic exploration and problem solving. This means paint will be smeared, mud will be squished, things will be built, and adventures will be had.
We also provide places for students to swing, climb, and learn how to navigate obstacles safely with guidance. They will come home dirty, tired, and happy!
