A Look at the Homeschool Program

Guiding Principles
Living in harmony with the earth and learning eco-friendly ways is important for the present and the future. We can learn from Indigenous ways and homesteading practices how to live in thriving, healthy communities and positive relationship to the Earth.

We feature Indigenous knowledge and gently educate about colonizers and their impact on Native Indigenous people. We support efforts toward Native cultural revitalization and land restoration. We are not religiously affiliated and do not offer any religious teaching in our curriculum. Our Executive Director has learned about and from Indigenous Peoples since 2007 and we offer professional development training for our teaching contractors in the areas of Indigenous knowledge and de-colonization. Our lead instructors have CPR and first aid certifications.

All children are welcome regardless of gender identity, ability, language, religion, race, or nationality. If you need any assistance for alter-ability, language interpretation, neuro-divergence, etc. please let us know and we will be happy to work with you on accommodations for your child(ren.)

Read our testimonial from a parent of a neuro-divergent child who attended in 2022- 2023.
