Welcome to Free Haven Forest School
A place where childhood wonder is preserved and children learn outdoors.
What is a Forest School?
We’d love to tell you all about it!
Our school was recently featured on ABC News!
Our learning philosophy
Our Reggio teaching philosophy places great importance on the learning environment, which is why we believe the best classroom is outdoors. In Forest School, we focus mostly on developing good social-emotional habits that will help our students achieve academic goals down the road.
Our Programming
The best learning happens in rich environments. Our programs take place both during the school year and in summer months in all weather.
Free Haven Forest School is committed to preserving childhood through hands-on, educational experiences in nature. Our carefully crafted programs serve students ages 3-14.
Raising happy, healthy kids.
Creating a child-led educational experience in the best learning environment in the world: nature.
Strong Minds
Social and emotional development in childhood are the biggest predictor of success in adulthood. Forest school helps develop both academic and social/emotional strengths.
Healthy Bodies
When children have a healthier learning environment, their overall health improves, too. Time spent in nature is proven to increase healthy immune functions, reduce obesity, improve self-confidence, and reduce symptoms of ADHD, anxiety and depression.
Thriving Systems
Nature is the richest learning environment in existence with constantly changing biological factors that children can explore, tinker with, and experience during forest school.
Keeping growing minds engaged
