Walnut Forest Academy

” I attended a wonderful play day at Walnut Forest Academy where I got to spend time in the indoor and outdoor spaces. The vibe is 10 star. Traci is a phenomenal educator and human being. I would highly recommend this school as an enriched alternative to traditional school. “

” Jouer was an unexpected gift and one that filled my cup in the best possible way! It was an opportunity to meet new people, to play, to laugh, to share wonderful food, to reflect and to connect with nature, myself and others. I left feeling uplifted and am so grateful for having had the experience! “

” I feel very lucky and blessed to have found Walnut Forest Academy for my son! The teachers are naturals with children through their patience, love and holistic connection. The communication concerning growth and development of their students is truly unmatched. It’s been a breath of fresh air (literally!) to see my child learn, play, and grow in rain, snow, or shine. This program with it’s unique learning opportunities has given him a deeper connection to himself, the world around him, and to others, all while gaining his confidence and sparking his curiosity and imagination that a public school setting could never do. I absolutely love the walnut forest philosophy and can’t imagine a better place for my son! I recommend it for anyone looking for a nature based learning environment with the most kind, creative, and inspired teachers. “

” We are so grateful WFA opened their doors this past fall 2023. My daughter is thriving in such a community based, welcoming environment. The small class size is perfect for fostering deep connections and belonging. The kids are outdoors most of the day, which is so great for them on so many levels – nervous system regulation, physical endurance, imaginative play, and so much more. I love the rituals of the morning and afternoon circles, and the integration of dance, music, and physical literacy. We have seen so much growth in our daughter in all aspects of her being – physically she is stronger and more balanced, she is able to communicate better and with more ease, her spirit is happy and shining every day. Walnut Forest Academy and it’s loving and competent learning facilitators have been a gift to my daughter and to our family. I can’t recommend it enough. “

” My child is thriving at Walnut Forest! He is excited to go to school everyday. The teachers are thoughtful and caring and have created an amazing curriculum that focuses on child-led learning, play, and the outdoors. This is truly a one-of-a-kind school. “
