Humanistic Educational In Practice

　The Forest School

　　The Forest School is a small, alternate elementary school that is operated under the principles of

　 　and in terms of their daily living.
　　
　　In addition to typical academic courses, the curriculum emphasizes non-academic learning and

　　 regular out-of-class excursions.

　　Forest School teachers, who live at the school with the stuents, are dedicated to their own personal

　　and professional learning and participate in an ongoing self-study program, fusing educational

　　theory with practice.
