Learning looks different here
Growing Roots Nature School provides meaningful, hands-on and in-class learning experiences rooted in nature, curiosity and connection.
Children have the freedom to explore, create, challenge themselves and see just what they are capable of.
At Growing Roots, we believe childhood should be filled with movement, discovery, muddy boots, big questions and exploration.
​
Our students spend their days learning through real experiences - building, creating, investigating, problem-solving, developing practical skills and following the curiosities that naturally arise when children are given the time and space to ask questions about the world around them.
​
Our educators guide and extend that learning through thoughtful programming and opportunities. The result is an environment where children aren't simply taught what to learn, they're encouraged to discover how they learn.
The forest is part of our classroom
Our private forest gives children the space to move, explore, wonder and learn throughout the changing seasons. Nature creates endless opportunities for learning
​
A fallen tree can become an engineering challenge
​
A creek can spark a science experiment
​
A shelter can become a lesson in teamwork and problem-solving.
​
A question discovered on the forest floor can become an entire afternoon of learning.
Learning that grows with your child
Growing Roots blends nature-based experiential learning with intentional academic instruction.
Our days include dedicated math, literacy and reading groups, alongside hands-on projects, outdoor exploration and practical skill development. Our students have access to two heated yurts, providing a comfortable space for curriculum programming and shelter during inclement weather.
