We are taking a sabbatical this year to reassess if our families would like to continue to pursue Rooted as an educational supplement to our homeschool.

Currently we are meeting once per month for a “play date” to continue in community with one another.

No cost at this time

Our classes have many costs associated with them such as insurance, teachers, facilities, activities, field equipment, website fees, and supplies.

Mother Nature is our best teacher.

We will be engaging with the local ecology, literature, nature journaling, allowing time for introspection and plenty of guided free play. We will work with what weather presents.

Curriculum will be a central focus for the week and the specifics will change based on the age group of students.

Learning from our elders is something we hope to model here at RAS, so each semester there will be guest speakers to share their knowledge and wisdom about the specific topics.

Yes. We will be hosted by the Stewart Farms CO-OP. Facilities include restrooms, a covered pavilion, tables and chairs, an outdoor forest classroom, and a few climatized spaces for severe weather. Classes will be held rain or shine unless safety is an issue. In that scenario, we will have direct communication with all parents to ensure students are kept safe. Please hold the week following the end of the semester as a “make up week” just in case.

Stewart Farms CO-OP is a working farm. Although we will primarily have our own space, weekly farm walks will be incorporated into our curriculum to be more connected to the environment around us. Proper footwear and rain attire must be provided.

Winter dates will be held off campus. These sessions might include meeting at a park, nature center, or art museum. Locations TBD as weather allows.
