What Makes Us Different
Urban Homestead Setting
Our children develop their green thumb by caring for plants in the garden, forming a lifelong connection with nature. They learn valuable life skills like responsibility and teamwork, appreciate the beauty of the natural world, and gain a sense of curiosity that stays with them.
Fresh Food
Our children garden throughout the year, bake bread from scratch, harvest their food and make delicious meals from scratch. We eat our meals family style.
project Based Learning
We make learning come alive. Children work on a project over an extended period of time that engages them in solving a real-world problem or answering a complex question. They demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public product.
Conscious Curriculum
We have an intentional curriculum that balances practical skills, artistic work, and academic rigor, while also cultivating morality and an ethical relationship to one another and the environment.
Beyond Academics
Through our carefully crafted curriculum and hands-on activities, we strive to help children develop a strong sense of self-reliance and confidence, while also teaching them how to navigate their emotions and handle difficult situations with grace and tact. With our program, children are empowered to take charge of their own lives and reach their full potential.
