our programs

Our multi-age environment allow children to learn at their own pace, and from one another, without the need for comparison or competition. As learners age up, learning opportunities, personal responsibility, and self-direction progress along with them.

Nurture (4-5)

For 4 to 5 year-olds, our gentle, play-based program focuses on socialization, hands-on exploration, nature, movement, plenty of outdoor time, and learning through play.

Grow (5-8)

We offer free play, a rich environment, and Reggio and Montessori-based learning activities with an emphasis on self-directed discovery. Foundational concepts are available to children as they become ready through exploration, organized offerings, and real-life experiences.

THRIVE (8-12)

For learners 8-12, we offer a self-directed environment, a wide variety of structured offerings, as well as an optional foundation of core skills through a personalized, self-paced, classical curriculum.

Teens (13-18)

Many teenagers who love learning and want to go to college find conventional middle and high school stressful and unfulfilling. That's why we offer classes, mentoring, and community for teens in a supportive environment where they can finally take control of their learning.

FOrest FRIDAYS

Fridays are all about immersing ourselves in nature and learning in a hands-on way. We spend the day in the Watchung Reservation, hiking, exploring, observing wildlife, and playing outdoors.

SUmmertime!

This summer, get ready for good old-fashioned summertime fun! We'll have open-ended outdoor play in the mornings and in the afternoons we'll host workshops where kids can discover and tap into their interests in the arts, nature, STEM, building, and more.
