Child-centered education in a nature-immersive setting

Connection to nature

Students connect with nature, learning valuable lessons about our collective eco-footprint and embracing the responsibility of respectful custodianship.

Child-led learning

The learning at JNS happens through times of unstructured play, a variety of expression experiences, and small or large group conversations. 

Innovative education

Academic content is integrated seamlessly through practices of social/emotional development, problem-solving, critical thinking, self-regulation, and communicating ideas.

Confident, expressive, and lifelong learners

Journey Nature School at the Kirkmont Center is a special learning space that aims for its children to become confident, expressive, and lifelong learners. We emphasize social justice and caring for the environment in a natural setting.

Benefits of a nature school
