OUR PROGRAMS
All of our programs include interdisciplinary and project based learning. It is our priority to expose our participants to a wide array of practical application skills while kindling their curiosity and nurturing collaboration. Writing, basic math skills and natural/cultural history are interwoven into each of our programs in the context of the seasonal activities that they include. We aim to offer a learning experience that is rich and diverse.
SEVEN RIVERS ACADEMY
For families interested in part time & full time enrollment, Seven Rivers offers a unique alternative! Our Academy option allows you to craft your own full or part time schedule of nature and project based, experiential learning.
