My students are here because their families are looking for an alternative to traditional education.

100% Outdoor Kindergarten - 12th Grade Natural, Organic Learning in scenic Wildcat Canyon Regional Park
Students experience real life in real time!
An antithesis to public and private school classrooms.
Celebrating nature, individuality, and freedom in the urban outdoors!
This alternative education model is all about relationships, with each other and with the land.
Learning is child led and teacher supported, with all of us learning through play, conversation, and direct experience. This developmental approach respects everyone for who they are and encourages growth in all realms: head (knowledge), heart (social and emotional), hands (physical), and ecological (“To acknowledge the understanding of ecology and human interdependence with the ecosystem.” (Sobel & Bailie, 2016)). Lessons are organic, weaving together my life and educator experiences, everyone’s strengths, challenges, and interests, and what our environment and needs provide for us each day.
We experience awe regularly.
