" "...FREEDOM IS... THE VITAL CONCRETE POSSIBILITY FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING TO BRING TO FULL DEVELOPMENT ALL THE POWERS, CAPACITIES, AND TALENTS WITH WHICH NATURE HAS ENDOWED..."



Rudolf Rocker



Natural Learning



Natural Learning is an educational philosophy that rests on a deep trust in the natural process of life. We believe that each individual has an intrinsic drive to seek out their own fulfillment of elemental needs for learning, development, growth, and health. Humans, like all organic beings, are born with an instinctual navigation toward learning. As guides in this learning process, we strive to support the most beneficial environment for young humans to follow their innate motivation. We know through extensive research that a play-based, self-directed environment immersed in the natural world, interwoven with authentic relationships, supported by caring adults, and founded on trust, provides children the fertile soil out of which they are able to grow happy, healthy, and resilient.
