WHO IS FERNSPRING IS?

A community of families who believe

  • They value curiosity, independence, and creativity, and believe in environments that provide time, space, and mindful support so that these abilities can develop authentically.

  • They view daily contact with nature as a formative experience that encourages exploration, reflection, and the construction of meaning, thereby strengthening a sense of responsibility and a connection to the world.

  • They seek an education consistent with their values, in which school and family work together to nurture individuals who are mindful, self-reliant, and committed to life and the world in which they live.
