Details:
During Weekly Nature School, students and instructors will collaborate and share excitement for the natural world in order to deepen their connection through each of our 4 Pillars: Primitive Skills, Adventure, Outdoors Science, and Stewardship. (You can learn more about each of these foundational pillars on the “About” page.)
We’re not your typical school… we believe that students learn best when they let their inspiration and inner passions lead them. That’s why we won’t ever tell students that they have to learn anything, we’ll simply foster excitement and curiosity about a topic instead!
Each week at Down To Earth, children will explore, play fun games, build connections, hear inspiring stories, and practice core routines while learning unique lessons such as:
Wildlife Tracking
Bird Language
Friction Fire Making
Natural Navigation
Knife Carving and Safety
Garden Care + Composting
Edible and Medicinal Plants
Collecting Scientific Data from Nature
…and much more!

$195/Month
Plus a $175 registration fee
A $175 registration fee is due with the enrollment application to hold your child's spot for the fall. This deposit is non-refundable and will only be deposited if your child is accepted into the program. If your child is on the waitlist, we will contact you as soon as a spot opens up!
We have two tuition payment options:
1. Monthly Payment Plan
After paying your $175 registration fee, your tuition can be paid in 7 installments of $195 each month from September - May. Three installments in the fall (September - November) and four installments in the spring (February - May). Payments will be withdrawn on the 1st of each of the stated months above.
2. Pay in Full
If you'd like to pay in full, tuition is $1,265 plus the $175 enrollment fee. The incentive for paying for the whole year is a 5% savings on your total yearly tuition.
Withdrawal Policy: If you need to withdraw your child from our program, please let us know at least two weeks prior to your child’s departure. This gives us enough time to fill your child’s space for the following month. If you paid the full year’s tuition up front, you will be refunded for the months following your child’s departure. If you do not provide at least two weeks notice, your tuition will not be refunded for that month.
