About Our School

At our forest school, learning happens through direct interaction with the natural environment. Students explore ecosystems, track seasonal changes, and engage in inquiry-based projects that connect classroom learning to real-world phenomena. Our small class sizes allow for individualized attention while fostering collaborative discovery. We balance structured academics with child-led exploration, trusting that engagement and curiosity drive deep learning. Through all-weather outdoor time, students build resilience, problem-solving skills, and authentic understanding of scientific concepts.


Educational Philosophy: Trust is earned through consistency, honesty, and genuine care.

Teaching is more than a career for me - it's a calling. I'm dedicated to creating learning experiences that are engaging, meaningful, and tailored to each student's needs. With a background in both traditional and alternative education, I bring a diverse toolkit to the classroom. I love fostering curiosity and helping students discover their passions. Outside of school, I enjoy gardening, playing music, and spending time with my family.
