Learning CORE standards through Stewardship
StewardshipAt Redwood Raven, students learn to have ownership of their campus by working the land with us. They learn many skills while also learning Math, Science, Social Studies, Art, and English. Somedays, you can find them hammering and drilling while other days the kids are immersed in a book and examining worms under a microscope. The variety of activities that meet CORE standards are well thought out and designed to teach our young generation to stick through a long project, be patient, and respect and care for each other and our planet.

TESTIMONIALS
"My two boys are very shy, and I wasn't sure how they would like going to the Redwood Raven School. After the first day of schooI, I asked them how was school? My youngest said this should be called 'Fun School' everything is fun! The outdoors natural environment is the main classroom. The kids are learning by doing things with their hands and being with nature in a natural habitat. My oldest had a real phobia with worms before going to Redwood Raven, he would literally avoid any interaction with them. I was very surprised that he was able to observe the project that dealt with worms and their role in soil. I expressed my surprise that he actually participated in that activity. Ms. Amy said that, 'Connecting with nature is a journey and not always easy.' This is very true, and I'm glad my kids are on that journey of learning, connecting to their environment, in the 'Fun School' otherwise known as Redwood Raven School." ~ Ihsan
These days, it's hard to give kids a simple childhood anymore. We are grateful to Art & Wilderness Institute for giving a place where my son can learn, grow, and develop in a way a young child should be able to. The Art & Wilderness Instructors create an environment where the best and most beautiful natural qualities of a child can develop and thrive -- a connection to the natural world around us, an appreciation and respect for community, and an excitement to learn without being stifled. I trust the instructors with playing such a powerful role in my son's childhood, and am continually impressed with how much attention they put toward understanding children and helping different personalities and learning styles flourish. My son wakes up every morning asking when he's going to an Art & Wilderness Institute program...and he's never shown that excitement for any other program! - Lena Khan
