Raven's Wood
|
Each session, we choose a new and relevant overarching theme. Our thematic programs connect to all content areas, including literacy, writing, science, history, and mathematics. We choose themes with literal and metaphorical meanings, concrete and abstract, and we have well-planned lessons. The kids direct us with interests in choices, and their teaching and learning is always honored. A few of our overarching themes include: Webs, It's All About the Food, Circles, Elements, Design and Function, Stories, Colors, Senses, Balance, Patterns, Growth, Time, and Roots. From these ideas, we create lessons that make direct connections to kids' past learning, academic curricula, and to life itself.

Kids in grades K-8 attend Raven's Wood Outdoor School for Renegades 1 day a week throughout the school year. All kids are welcome, whether they are in public or private school, or are home-schooled. Parents seek permission from their school for their child to attend, and we can provide our curriculum when asked. We are seeking scholarship funding for those who cannot afford the full or partial tuition, so please inquire if this is something in which you are interested. Rates are $1950/year/per child, and classes run from mid-September through May, with a 6-week break mid December-January. The theme for Fall of 2018 is Textures, and the theme for Spring 2019 is Webs.
