We use the curriculum as a guide to make sure we are meeting or exceeding the expectations for each grade level. We also use many different curriculum-based resources to teach our students.

Every staff member is thoroughly vetted before being hired. All staff provide up-to-date vulnerable sector checks.

We have several teachers with Bachelor of Education degrees or Forest and Nature School Certifications.

We are growing slowly and mindfully. This fall 2025 we will be accepting children who are ready for JK (born 2021) up to Grade 3 (born 2016).

🌳 Each year we will accept a new cohort of JK students.
🌳 Each year we will add one more grade higher than this year.

Within the next five years, we expect to teach children from JK to Grade 8.

We intend to make Walnut Forest Academy a place where children can grow roots and thrive!

We are a curriculum-informed, nature-based private school offering 5, 4, 3, and 2-day options.

Some children attend our school for their full-time educational experience and others attend part-time as a supplement to being homeschooled.

Outdoor schools tend to offer a one-day-a-week immersive day in nature that is focused on outdoor education.

We offer that too (psst . . . we call it a Wild Wednesday). However, it is integrated into our overall curriculum plan.
