Forest Playground at The Garden School

Project Details

The Garden is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding options for dynamic, child-centered education in our area. Our offerings are uniquely artistic, nature-saturated, inquiry-based, and are brought to our students with enthusiasm, love, and reverence.

We honor and preserve the innocence and wonder of childhood in an environment of rhythm, reverence, and joy. We practice and encourage peaceful communication and wholesome living. We seek and embrace diversity in our community. We strive to develop individuals who are able, in and of themselves, to impart meaning to their lives.

Over the next 5 years, we will blossom into a fully accredited K-8 Waldorf school, offering a joyful and dynamic educational experience with cultural depth, academic rigor, and rich in foreign languages, inquiry-based science, practical and fine arts, music, and meaningful mathematics. In short, a school that develops "free human beings who are able of themselves to impart purpose and direction to their lives."

We offer an education rich in arts, sciences, and a meaningful connection to the outdoors. We are currently developing a forest playground on our 15-acre campus that will support creative play for our students.
