Integrative Curriculum

​Our curriculum weaves reading, writing, math, history, and science with somatic movement, art, music, earth building, permaculture, herbalism, ecosystem restoration, and animal husbandry. We promote an experiential and explorative learning environment with an emphasis on socio-emotional awareness and creative self-expression. Students share projects directly with their local community.​

Parent & Educator Training

Education of the child begins with the adult. It behooves us all to have a whole-system understanding of our personal patterns: how they developed, and how they play out. We explore a range of theories, modalities, and studies related to nervous system regulation and its impact on health, relationships, and livelihood. This emerging collaborative coursework is available to all participating families.
