Who is The Forest School for?

  • Parents and caregivers who want their children to become self directed, independent learners

  • People who believe the traditional school system no longer works to prepare children for the modern world

  • Entrepreneurs

  • Creators and creatives

  • Out-of-the box thinkers

  • Families who care equally about education and dynamic character

  • People who want the benefits of child-directed learning without having to make a full-time commitment to homeschooling

  • Families with flexible schedules 

  • People who need flexible attendance for travel and family obligations. (We will operate on an 11-month calendar with 4-7 week sessions and breaks in between)

  • Children who want additional time to pursue their passions beyond traditional after school hours

  • People who want to maximize their family time

  • Trailblazers and trendsetters

  • Families who value their freedom and want their children to develop a love of learning

 

Parents looking for the items listed below, may be challenged by The Forest School's philosophy and may feel it is not the right place for their family: 

  1. Those who treasure social prestige and really prefer a traditional education. 

  2. Those who are "blamers" and ultimately will gossip and criticize, no matter what.

  3. Those who aren't sure their child is ready yet for the responsibility and struggles—and occasional tears—of truly independent learning (and may be right).

  4. Those who are not committed to a Hero's Journey themselves.
