Our Rhythm

We are a Preschool through 8th grade community, operating September to June. School is closed for summer break, including Preschool. We celebrate festivals, offer family education, work together on our farm, and find ways to connect to the seasons and each other. The Social Justice Committee has monthly meetings and also plans events. In the summer we host Farm Camp at our school Farm. |
