Our School

Everlasting Education is a full-time TK-5 elementary program rooted in nature and designed for what today’s children actually need: connection, purpose, freedom to explore, and a meaningful academic foundation.

In an era of screens and standardization, we offer something necessary and new. Our fully outdoor classrooms are where curiosity is honored, compassion is cultivated, and learning feels alive.

With small class sizes, dedicated educators, and a mission-driven model, we nurture confident, capable learners ready to lead with heart and think critically about the world around them.

A Program Designed to Grow Whole Humans

Learning here happens on trails, in gardens, and beneath oak trees just as much as it does with pencils and paper.

We blend the best of outdoor, experiential education with a strong academic core. Our students build deep literacy and numeracy skills through hands-on projects, guided exploration, and student-led inquiry aligned with California Department of Education standards and social-emotional milestones.

The result? Confident kids who are grounded, joyful, and genuinely engaged in their learning.

The Four Pillars of Everlasting Education

Everything we do is supported by our Four Pillars. Our integrated framework that ensures children grow intellectually, emotionally, and ecologically.

Constructivist Classroom

We teach through curiosity, not compliance. Students build knowledge by asking questions, exploring topics that matter to them, and engaging in meaningful, real-world problem solving.

Place-Based Learning

We believe children should know and love where they live. Our curriculum is deeply rooted in the local ecology, seasonal rhythms, and cultural history of our region.
