They can help us on where you need to spend the money and where you can economize. And also, they are giving our parents 15% off when you shop the items in our school store.

Make Up Classes

All classes are nonrefundable, but makeup classes are available when space is available.

Must be approved by the supervisor first.

Makeup classes are provided within the season of which the class was missed. If your child is sick, and cannot attend their indoor school, please do not bring them to class. We do NOT want our kids or teacher getting sick either.

Why change to an outside school from a traditional inside school?

Outdoor schools provide unique advantages over traditional indoor settings by encouraging hands-on learning in natural surroundings, encouraging physical activity, and fostering a strong bond with the environment. This approach not only enhances academic performance but also promotes overall well-being.

What makes us different from other schools?

We take care of the whole child, offering qualified teachers to work with your child socially, physically, and mentally.
