Kind Words from Students, Parents, and Teachers
“They really like the fact that they can be outdoors quite a lot…And they really…have a good connection with the teachers. And they really kind of feel very bonded and connected to them.”
“It’s a really beautiful alternative approach to education. It allows our kids to grow up in their own time and their own space and explore whatever they’re interested in and grow up in a really beautiful place as well, which is really important.”
“They love the learning. I think that’s fantastic. As a parent, I couldn’t want anything more for them.”
“We are not only blending curricula together, but we are trying to pioneer an education system that just doesn’t exist. But we’re still hitting those key targets and I think what’s really important for parents to know is that we’re not just making it up as we go. We’ve taken the best of the Steiner curriculum, of the Swedish Forest School curriculum, and of the national curriculum.”
“The pace of it is really important. There’s not a sense of “we’re trying to catch up all the type.”
“They’re safe, they’re nurtured, they’re respected.”
“And the teachers aren’t strict and are very helpful and jolly.”
“Every morning [my son’s] teacher checks in with all the students in the class, checks how they’re feeling and helps them to kind of build that confidence and that happiness for them to grow and develop every day.”
“The teachers are nice and helpful.”
“I like that there’s not too many people in the classes because…it’s easier for teachers and we can have more time with each other.”
“I don’t mind being a low-tech school because we do other exciting stuff instead, like making things in woodwork and forest school.”
