At Roots to Wrens Forest School, we cultivate holistic growth and resilience in young learners through immersive, nature-based education, grounding them in the rhythms of the natural world while inspiring them to soar with limitless possibilities. We foster deep connections to nature, curiosity-driven learning, and a lifelong love of exploration, come rain or shine. 

Our Philosophy

We believe in the transformative power of immersive, nature-based education to shape confident, compassionate, and capable individuals. Our philosophy is rooted in the principle that direct experiences in nature are essential for developing critical life skills.

Our rain-or-shine approach embraces the ever-changing landscape of the forest, providing children with opportunities to adapt, build resilience, and develop a deep appreciation for the natural world. Through hands-on outdoor learning, children hone their creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills while engaging in experiences that nurture curiosity and wonder.

We value the power of cooperative learning and social-emotional development, guiding children in navigating relationships with empathy, respect, and confidence. Through collaborative play, conflict resolution, and community-building, we support the growth of strong communication and interpersonal skills that will serve them throughout life. We honor every voice, celebrating the diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, and abilities that enrich our learning community.

A lifelong relationship with nature begins with moments of joy, discovery, and deep connection. By engaging with the land, observing seasonal changes, and embracing the wild beauty of the forest, we cultivate a deep-rooted respect for the earth and all its inhabitants.

At Roots to Wrens, children grow strong in mind, body, and spirit—grounded in nature yet soaring with possibilities.
