A Magical Learning Environment
The Oak Rose Forest School provides an enriched and magical learning environment for our students. Founded in 2021, our forest school is located in the Western Catskills on the land of the Lenni Lenape tribe at The Sanctuary, an indigenous healing center, bee, pollinator and food forest sanctuary. Our environment reflects the beautiful energy and intention of this land, as well as the various backgrounds and cultures of the area, the community caregivers, and wild-life. Our teachers are passionate, progressive and experienced in providing a safe space for child-led learning through play, discovery, and connection with nature.
At the Oak Rose Forest School, we do our best to develop autonomy, curiosity & courage in our students. We believe that joy, awe, wonder and a connection to nature and its elements is greatly important for students to access their own inner wisdom, empathy and intrinsic drive to learn. For us, emotional learning, regulation, and healthy social relationships are of great importance & a crucial foundation for any other learning to take place.
We combine our backgrounds in Waldorf eduction and traditional forest schooling, indigenous wisdom, story telling and myth to weave the curriculum for our program. Our program takes place in all types of weather outdoors.
We believe that childhood should be joyfull and wholesome; that the earliest, most memorable kind of learning includes climbing trees, catching frogs, making mud pies, and mixing potions.
