Nature-based homeschool group & more for ages 6-12 in Augusta County, Virginia
Holistic social learning experiences cultivate your child’s confidence, skills, and connection to self, others, and nature.
Nourished Oaks is a weekly outdoor homeschool enrichment group.
We also organize monthly social gatherings, and indoor interest-based clubs!
We meet in and around Waynesboro, Virginia.
Our rhythm is purposefully supportive, predictable, and low-stress, balancing structure and choice. Our programming supports students in ways that nourish their unique abilities and interests, encourage natural playfulness and curiosity, foster resilience, and weave healthy peer relationships.
Inclusion is important to us. We welcome learners with diverse abilities and support needs.*
Belong
Nourished Oaks grew out of the belief that the adaptive, holistic, relationship-rich teaching methods at the heart of many home education philosophies and forest school pedagogy should extend into social learning times.
We believe all children – whatever their abilities or quirks – deserve a true sense of belonging.
Discover
Discovery is at the heart of learning.
Nature study and art lead children to discover the wonders of their world, while learning in community and engaging challenges lead children to discover more of themselves, their potential, and their role in the world.
Flourish
Nature immersion lowers stress, cultivates happiness, enhances focus, provides a range of sensory stimulation and challenges, and opens doors to growth.
Good relationships are a huge piece of a happy, fulfilling life.
Together, those elements promote lives that flourish.
