Homeschool Enrichment Offerings
We welcome homeschoolers to participate in enrichment half or full days at Sonoma Earth School. Our setting is mixed-age, outdoor and nature-based. Our routines do shift through the seasons, but always include a large portion of time outdoors, regardless of weather.
Mornings 8:30am - 12:30pm
Our mornings begin with connecting to nature, connecting with friends and tending the land. Activities include: opening circle, Spanish, nature journaling, experiential math and scientific inquiry, exploration, and time to work on projects.
