1st - 5th grade program
Our 1st - 5th grade programs provide a nature-immersive education that seamlessly weaves reading, writing, mathematics, arts, and language into the daily rhythms of the jungle. Our thoughtfully designed curriculum is inspired by the children's observations and discoveries, creating meaningful, experience-based learning opportunities.
Throughout the week, students also engage in music and Spanish classes, enriching their educational journey. With small teacher-to-child ratios, we offer personalized attention in a nurturing outdoor environment that fosters a deep appreciation for nature, curiosity, independence, collaboration, and a lifelong love of learning—all while having fun!
Rooted in Waldorf principles, our classes encourage multi-age interactions, allowing children to learn from and with each other in a dynamic, supportive community.
The teacher-child ratios allow for one-on-one attention in an outdoor setting to encourage a love of nature and foster curiosity, self-reliance, teamwork, a passion for learning, risk taking and the most important critical thinking. The classes will maintain a 1 : 7 teacher to child ratio. Classes will be modeled in a Waldorf style to allow children of varying ages to interact and learn together.
We look forward to partnering with you on your child’s educational journey.
