Planting seeds with deep roots

Deep Roots students learn what it means to grow from the Earth. From planting, to caring for chickens, to weeding and watering, students dive deep into navigating the daily life of a farmer.

At Deep Roots, we learn to find companionship with nature. Students discover what it means to be apart of the natural world, practicing skills such as fire building and safety, seasonal readiness and gear preparation, wildlife tracking and whatever else nature might bring us.

We believe education can be found , not just in stories and experiences, but through the living of our every day lives as well. Deep Roots students get opportunities to practice life skills such as open fire cooking and the use of simple tools like wrenches, screw drivers and nuts + bolts.

Students also navigate the ability to build and create loving and compassionate relationships.

While learning with our hands and bodies is important, Deep Roots students also begin to build a foundation of phonics, writing and math skills, creating beauty in ways that exercise not just their movements, but their minds.

Our transformed classroom yurt, equipped with a wood burning stove, holds space where rest, creativity and curiosity can flourish.
