Mother Earth School Information

We strive to create a setting that is accessible to a diversity of people by extending our programming beyond our year-round classes. We create opportunities that invite the broader community to build traditions with us at our farm sites and other school-sponsored events, connecting with the land and with each other. Our extended community includes people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. There are many ways to become active in the Mother Earth School community by bringing a willingness to learn and skills to share as volunteers, interns, board members, teachers in training, mentors, and allies. We are stepping into the responsibility of recognizing internalized privilege, systemic oppression and other factors that contribute to injustice so that our efforts toward equity are authentic. Our students come from and graduate to a wide variety of schooling options including homeschool, public education and Waldorf education. We have an active Wisdom Council who are elder mentors that support the work of nature connection and share their experiences toward that goal. We focus on the work of healing, transformation, awareness and connection. We adhere to Communication Agreements in order to honor and respect the diversity of perspectives that converge in communion with nature.
