For families who are homeschooling and juggling the learning curve of becoming an educator, or simply working part-time, our program offers breathing room for your schedule: a wholesome, outdoor exploratory experience and a close-knit community atmosphere that help families truly thrive!
The foundation of Wildwood Acres Farm and Forest School was built as a supplementary homeschool program for families seeking socialization and extra programming one to four days per week. We are happy to say that we will continue to offer our nature-based homeschool supplemental day program for ages 3+. This program teaches children to connect with nature, challenge their endurance, solve real-world problems, work in a team, respect all life, and learn responsibility.
We believe that relating to all people, animals, wildlife, trees, and the natural environment helps children to understand that they are just a small part of the ecosystem and are responsible for leaving the world as they found it. Through play-based learning, natural discovery, and creative thinking, our hope is that Wildwood students will develop a greater love of nature, responsibility for the planet, and respect for all people, living creatures, plant life, and water sources.
Experiential learning activities range from planting and growing their own food, churning their own dairy snacks, taking care of animals, foraging in the woods, and experiencing the natural world around them in a prism of ways. And let’s not forget simple childhood joys like crafts, building fires, sledding, and having snowball fights in the winter!
Enrollment is per semester, each 16 weeks long, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Families may choose the number of days per week they would like their child to attend based on what fits their needs.

Mondays focus on Social-Emotional Development: Through engaging activities, group discussions, and hands-on experiences, students develop self-awareness, empathy, and resilience. They practice skills that support healthy relationships, emotional regulation, and conflict resolution.
Tuesdays focus on Language Arts: Students engage in storytelling, writing, and reading activities inspired by the natural world around them.
Wednesdays focus on Mathematics: Through real-life problem-solving scenarios in our farm and forest environments, students develop a strong foundation in mathematical concepts.
Thursdays focus on Science/Social Studies: Our vast outdoor classroom provides endless opportunities for scientific exploration, observation, and experimentation. Students learn about sustainability, community, and the interconnectedness of all living things through our farm and forest experiences.
Arts and crafts are typically a part of every day. We encourage creativity and self-expression through nature-inspired art projects using materials found in our surroundings.
