Our core values align with the philosophy of fostering a connection to nature, whole-child development, and meaningful learning experiences. These values emphasize both the practical and emotional aspects of education.

 We prioritize hands-on, immersive experiences that foster a deep connection to the natural world, forming the foundation of our educational approach.

A nature-based approach prioritizes the development of the whole child—academic, emotional, social, and physical.

Ensuring education feels meaningful, engaging, and deeply connected to students’ natural sense of wonder and excitement for discovery.

A nature-based education thrives on curiosity, exploration, and an openness to new perspectives, fostering a lifelong love of learning.

  Each grade is supported by at least two teachers who collaborate with artists, naturalists, and community members to enrich learning and foster community engagement, reinforcing the belief that all life thrives together.

Instilling gratitude for the earth, its resources, and relationships nurtures respect and care for the natural world and each other, keeping us all right-sized.

A transparent practical approach ensures that the school’s values are not just ideals but are deeply embedded in day-to-day learning and interactions.
