Revolutionizing education from the roots on up
SOL is an education ecosystem rooted in nature, community, and love.
Through our Seasons of Learning, we cultivate confident minds, creative hands, and compassionate hearts in the next generation of changemakers.
Our philosophy is grounded in the following guiding principles:
NATURE-BASED
We draw inspiration from the natural world, using its rhythms, cycles, and ecosystems as a foundation for our curriculum. Our programs are located in an inspiring outdoor location, where children engage in hands-on, experiential learning that fosters a deep connection to the earth and an understanding of their place within it. Nature is our classroom, and Mother Earth is our greatest teacher.
CHILD-LED
We empower children to guide their learning journeys by creating a dynamic environment where knowledge is discovered, connections are made, and growth occurs naturally. Instead of following a rigid academic structure, we allow learning to emerge organically through hands-on exploration, inquiry-led projects, and imaginative play that fosters curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love for learning.
MULTI-AGE
We believe in the power of community and the richness that comes from learning in a diverse environment. Children of different ages work together, learning from and with each other in a supportive, collaborative setting. This approach not only builds empathy and social skills but also engenders a spirit of contribution, encouraging every child to play a vital role in our balanced ecosystem.
SOUL-CENTERED
We honor the inner world of each child, recognizing that true learning begins from within. Our soul-centered approach emphasizes mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness, helping children to connect with their inner selves and discover their unique gifts and purpose. We guide them in fostering a strong sense of self, a compassionate heart, and a resilient spirit.
