Planting seeds with deep roots

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

At Deep Roots, we learn to find companionship with nature. Students will open their eyes to 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 that education can be found , not just in stories and experiences, but through the living of our every day lives as well. Here at Deep Roots, our students will get the opportunity to practice life skills such as open fire cooking and the use of simple tools like wrenches, screw drivers and nuts + bolts.

Students will also begin to practice and learn the ability to build and create loving and compassionate relationships.

While learning with our hands and bodies is important, part of being a Deep Roots student also means beginning to build a foundation of phonics, writing and math skills in order to create beauty in ways that exercise not just our movements, but our minds as well.

On site, we have transformed a yurt into our classroom. Equipped with a wood burning stove, this space holds a corner where rest, creativity and curiosity can flourish.
