Though we are called a 'school', our vision is much more far-reaching. We see school as an anomaly in the context of two million years of human evolution and learning in the wild. Our goal is to create a meeting place for like-minded people joined by a vision of a rewilded world and who are passionate to act on it. We recognize that the real measure by which our children will judge us is the health of the land and Earth they inherit from us. We also understand that the real knowledge they look to us for is that which enables both their self-reliance and interconnectedness with all of life - not dependence, alienation and drudgery. We recognize that the most evolutionary way of learning happens in tribal or village-like settings. We want to create that “village”. Any village is a living community based on shared values. Though we anticipate that our way of learning will appeal to many parents, especially of children that have been let down by the school system, we ask that you please familiarize yourself with our objectives and philosophy by reading the curriculum and apply only if you are prepared to support them.
