What is Organic Education?
The Organic Dream for Every Child: A sound, accomplished body, a sympathetic, intelligent mind, and a sweet, sincere spirit.
Learning involves the entire organism.
The School of Organic Education believes one must educate the entire organism – mind, body and spirit, in a non-competitive environment. We foster growth through connection with many elements of life.
Experiences that engage the five senses.
We believe in promoting critical thinking, artistic expression, and respect for individual differences, while fostering a lifelong joy of learning. We engage students in hands-on learning that encourages them to connect fully with their environment and embrace discovery in every moment.
Stages of Life
“The Organic Dream for Every Child: A sound, accomplished body, a sympathetic, intelligent mind, and a sweet, sincere spirit.”
Pre-K & Kindergarten
Early Life
Traditionally known as preschool and Kindergarten, we use the name Early Life to denote the development of the younger years. These years are foundational and incredibly important in how the child’s brain and emotional intelligence develops.
1st & 2nd grade
First Life
Our First Life classes are composed of 1st and 2nd grade aged children. When children are in combined age classrooms, the learning expounds and more is gained in emotional and social development.
3rd & 4th grade
Second Life
As our brains develop we transition from concrete thinking to more abstract concepts, usually between ages 8 and 9, when students typically enter 3rd and 4th grade.
5th grade
Third Life
At ages 10 and 11, we have all the skills we need for reading, researching and experimenting and are ready to define ourselves and create our own goals.
