What is a Forest School

The Forest School is designed around frequent and regular sessions outdoors that supports the development of relationships between the student and the natural world.

The Forest School promotes the holistic development of all those involved, fostering resilient, confident, independent and creative learners.

The Forest School's brain-based curriculum best prepares students in our lower grades for continued success in school.
