​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.​
