How Our Days, Weeks, and Year Flow
A four-day week rooted in season and purpose — with a project arc that begins with ready-made structure and gradually hands the reins to the students themselves.
A Calendar Rooted in Season

Seasonal Breaks
A steady, relationship-centered rhythm throughout the year, with intentional periods of rest and seasonal transition.
Summer Possibilities
The school year ends in late May, leaving the full summer open for camps, enrichment programming, and farm experiences — potentially beginning as early as Summer 2027.

How Projects Evolve Through the Year
We start with ready-made projects to build community and confidence, then gradually release ownership to students as they find their footing and their voices.
Carefully designed projects get us started with confidence — building community, learning the land, and establishing shared rhythms together.
These projects are fully planned and ready to go from Day 1.
Projects begin to reflect what the group is discovering about themselves and their environment — shaped by early conversations, observations, and emerging questions.
Still guided — but beginning to respond to the specific children in the room.
As children settle in, their questions and curiosities start shaping the project direction. Teachers listen closely, weaving student ideas into longer-arc investigations.
A balance of structure and emergent direction.
By spring, students have the skills, community trust, and confidence to drive meaningful projects from initial question through final sharing — with teachers as guides and co-investigators.
The curriculum is now genuinely co-created with the children.
The goal: by spring, children are asking the questions, proposing the investigations, and driving meaningful work — with teachers as skilled guides rather than directors. That shift doesn't happen overnight, which is why we build the scaffold carefully from day one.
