Middleton Idaho. 

​

Religious?

No religious affiliation. We preserve the right for families to implement, and teach what they believe. This program does recognize the various religions of the world and the effects religion and spiritual beliefs have had on historical figure's character and in civilizations, and on each individual. 

​

Special needs learners?

Programs are currently not prepared to support learners with serious special needs at this time.  Exceptions may be considered on a case by case basis. Reach out and ask!

​

Role of nature?

There is no bad weather. Learners will learn how to dress for the seasons and enjoy the gifts that each season provides. Nature is not only a masterful teacher, but helps regulate the emotions and supports healthy development.

​

Family involvement?

Yes!  There will be quarterly parent meetings, surveys and some opportunities to volunteer. This is meant to be a lifestyle that supports the family, so embracing the tools and systems will elevate the child and the family together.

Future Vision?

​

We’re planning to purchase land and create a beautiful campus designed for community, wellness, and connection; complete with a wellness center, community garden, animals, and more - all within 10–15 minutes of our current location.
