We conduct two interviews prior to enrollment in our alternative school. The initial interview will be held over a zoom call, and the second interview will be held in person at the school, where you will have an opportunity to explore the school, the grounds, and speak with the teachers.

We have limited space available for each incoming class, so please reach out as soon as possible.

Our Curriculum

Our Aurora, Oregon, Farmschool curriculum is influenced by Finnish, Waldorf and Montessori education principles and provides children with a daily rhythm between indoor and outdoor activities.

At our school, we embrace a curriculum that provides a nurturing and student-centered learning experience. By integrating play-based learning, creativity, and critical thinking into our daily activities, we create an environment where children can explore their interests and develop essential life skills. Our approach prioritizes holistic development, empowering young learners to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically, ensuring they build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Our school is fortunate to share the space of an intentional community situated on 35 acres. Part of this acreage is dedicated to the school building, a schoolyard, and a covered play area. We also have the advantage of taking the children outside the schoolyard on walks into the property's small forest, gathering items for our nature table, visiting farm animals, harvesting nuts, making apple cider, and walking in the gardens. We go outside every day, rain or shine, and children do get dirty.
