One Room Schoolhouse
(grades 1-8)
Our one room schoolhouse students are found working on their individualized math and reading lessons, taking notes during a Main Lesson (and making their own textbooks), or following their own passion for knowledge during Passion Project time.
They spend at least two hours every day outside, engaged in outdoor learning and play.
At Awakening Spirit School, we take sensitive students who currently ‘hate school’ and help reignite their love of learning in three months or less.
Our 1st-8th grade students thrive with a combination of our independent and group lessons.

Indoor Classroom
Our classroom is very carefully and consciously designed to promote a calm, nurturing, and comforting environment for our students.
Elements like aromatherapy, natural woods, fibers, crystals, and in-school therapy animals are used to create a soothing and inviting space to learn and grow.
Forest Classroom
We use our 15 acres of forest, trails, marsh, grasslands and pond as a year-round outdoor classroom.
Students spend 1-3 hours outdoors each day, working with our Outdoor Education teacher as well as in free imaginative play.
Individual Math/Reading
Since every student progresses at their own pace, we use individualized math and reading programs for each child. Every student is met exactly where they need to be to continue to learn, challenge themselves, and grow into confident and competent students.
Weekly Health/Wellness
We learn how our physical health relates to our mental and spiritual well-being through yoga, meditation, and movement.
Weekly Adventure Days
We invite parents to join us every Friday as we explore local museums, parks, theater productions, nature centers, ski hills, and more.
