Just last week Jordon King came and spent time with the fam. No lessons- just building friendship and enjoying company. The coolest scientist (and flower maker) we know.

Liberatory education isn't just about schooling, it's also about freedom. It’s teaching our children to question, to dream, and to build a future not bound by systems that weren’t built for them. This is how we create a better world: by raising kids who know they belong in it and have the power to shape it. 🌱✊

This wasn't just about the statistics but about what we saw with our own eyes, in our own children. Root to Rise was started by two parents who recognized that the school system was not equipped to personalize learning in a way that would allow their own children to thrive. And we were not alone. Many parents in the community had their own reasons for wanting to place their children in a microschool, yet a common thread ran through all of them: we wanted our children to learn- not assimilate. This wasn't about teaching children to be compliant but about teaching them to think critically and to believe they could achieve anything they set their minds to.

While long-term studies may be limited, research on the benefits of small class sizes for children is not. We truly believe that children deserve to feel as passionate about school as they do about fun. We also believe that a community-centered education (one that allows children to dream beyond what the current school system offers) is not only possible, but essential!

WE ARE ENROLLING!
Looking for a place where children learn more than just academics? At Root to Rise, we believe education begins with connecting to the land and to oneself. Teaching children to live in their authentic expression is just as important as reading, writing, and math. We see every child as a changemaker…capable not only of succeeding in school, but of thriving in the world.
