Treewild Forest Classroom

Treewild is opening two full days of wild-wood learning for students of all ages starting September 2020. Intended for either public school opt-out or home-school support, this program will foster deep intellectual curiosity with nature knowledge, music, art, reading, storytelling and writing, applied math, hands-on science, project based learning, meditation, movement, and powerful magic.

Led by renowned outdoor classroom specialist, Joplin James

As always, Treewild is committed to being COVID-safe.

Treewild will be holding classes on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 to 3. One of the days will be for younger students (grades k-3) and the other for older students. We will determine which day is for which age based on the applications.

We begin on September 9th and run through June 9th, following the CVSD calendar. Tuition is on a sliding scale to support equity and diversity in our classes. The $200 deposit will be applied to tuition, or fully refunded if your child does not enroll.
