Goodbye, stress.

Hello, learning.

We humans are happiest, and learn best, when we are free to pursue our own interests and make our own choices. Yet, conventional school with its rigid rules and mandatory classes stifles our true nature—making living and learning a chore. That’s why we’ve reinvented school as a free-range learning environment for kids ages 4 to 19 with endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.

Caring Adults

We didn’t make 
classrooms.

We created open-ended spaces for kids to flourish. Here, there's lots to do and the freedom to do it in your own way—all in a comfortable, happy place to feel at home.

Lounge

Our lounge and library is the ultimate chill spot—think cozy vibes, cool book selection, and the perfect nooks for getting into a story, using tech, or diving into deep convos.

Imagination Room

This is your go-to zone for building, creating, and  dreaming. Whether you’re into stacking LEGOs, crafting epic worlds with blocks and magnetic tiles, or rocking a costume, this is where imagination comes to life.

Art Studio

From paint to yarn to fabric, we’ve got what you need to craft your next work of art. This is your space for sketching, sculpting, or just seeing where the brush takes you.

Maker Space

Our maker space is a playground for builders, tinkerers, and inventors. With cardboard, wood, tools, and all kinds of loose parts, it’s where big ideas take shape.

Kitchen

A cozy hub for hungry students, budding chefs, snack artists, and entrepreneurial bakers. Whether you’re whipping up lunch, prepping for a bake sale, or testing recipes for your future food empire, this space has what you need to make it delicious.

Outdoors

With three playgrounds, a sandbox, woods, sports areas, and a sprawling open field, the possibilities are endless. If you love climbing, digging, exploring, battling it out in the gaga pit, or just being outside, we have the space to let loose and get moving.

Friends for Life

We're here from 8:45am to 3:00pm Monday through Friday, just like conventional school, so kids can make friends and socialize.

Create Connections,

Inspire Independence

 

Give your child the gift of daily connection in a community of peers whose families value independence and self-directed learning. Here, kids can socialize naturally in a mixed-age environment, and immerse themselves in a world designed for them—where they explore, play, and grow together. It’s a space where they truly belong!

It's school. Just better.

“I never let school get in the way of my education.”

Mark Twain

Square pegs welcome

Unsure if we're the right fit for your family? What they don't tell you in conventional school is that success in life often comes from passion, direction, and resilience, not formal education. Here are some pretty cool people who struggled with school, or felt stifled by it, and still turned out OK.
