Homeschool Program
We are so excited to welcome spring! We’ll continue to meet on Thursday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Classes will take place in the field at our private location of 30 acres in Newbury, Four Rock (82 Boston Rd.).
We will continue our study of Four Rock as we deepen our “sense of place.” We will be mapping the land and working on our sensory development within our place in nature. Along the way we’ll deepen our observation skills, questioning skills, and problem solving as nature presents us new, interesting creatures and challenges each day. deepening our connection to nature, ourselves and each other.
This class is held entirely outdoors in wilderness conditions (no bathrooms or permanent structure for shelter) in all but extreme weather conditions. We’ll stay warm by keeping active, ducking out of the wind, soaking up the sun, and treating ourselves to snacks by occasional small campfires. Proper clothing–especially layers of wool–is essential, as is an adventurous, curious spirit!
Kids aged 5-11 welcome, including half-day Kindergarteners. Class is limited to 12 kids.

Help Kids Get Outside …
"In the last two decades, childhood has moved indoors. The average American boy or girl spends just four to seven minutes in unstructured outdoor play each day, and more than seven hours each day in front of an electronic screen." --National Wildlife Federation, 2012
