Free Haven Forest School

Free Haven Forest School is dedicated to nurturing the natural curiosity and wonder of children aged 3 to 14, particularly those who thrive in a hands-on, outdoor learning environment. With a focus on students with diverse needs, including those with language-based learning disabilities and other emotional and developmental challenges, the school emphasizes a Reggio-inspired teaching philosophy that prioritizes social-emotional development as a foundation for academic success. By immersing students in nature, Free Haven fosters both cognitive growth and emotional resilience, recognizing that time spent outdoors significantly enhances overall health and well-being. The school's programs operate year-round, providing rich educational experiences that adapt to all weather conditions. What sets Free Haven apart is its commitment to maintaining a low student-teacher ratio, ensuring personalized attention and strong family partnerships. This unique approach not only cultivates thriving minds but also creates a supportive community where children can flourish emotionally and academically.
