Plan on monthly cross curricular meetups with wonder sprinkled throughout. The use of excellent model texts will enhance our learning. This Nature School program really has all you need for unschooling or home educating your kiddos. Apply for our next session below.
Individual lessons (like Midwinter lesson plans) will be available for purchase soon!

Homeschooling friendships, nature learning, art, hikes, book club, seasonal adventures etc. As a recovering public school teacher of 10 years, my kiddos do a bit of math and daily reading/journaling in addition to our activities in the group and that’s it!
Wanna give it a try?
Check us out on our
Monday meet up! See above!

You Started Homeschooling at Birth
Homeschooling doesn’t begin at a certain age. It begins at birth.
Long before a child is considered “school-aged,” they are learning how to regulate, relate, observe, trust, and belong — all within the context of their family and community. The age at which formal schooling typically begins is a policy decision, not a developmental milestone.
If you are parenting with intention, presence, and relationship at the center, you have already been homeschooling. Nothing magically changes when a child reaches a certain birthday — learning has been happening all along.
This is a less-is-more community built on consistency and connection. We don’t rush from activity to activity or treat community as something to drop into. Families here choose simple rhythms, familiar faces, and the steady work of showing up for one another.
