and Create with Nature
“Nature is the home of culture”
An entirely new way of relating and learning
Academics are applied, refined and extended in project-based, collaborative learning experiences in all programs.
~
Students learn to thrive in Nature extending what they have learned to school, home and the community.
In the Spirit of our Vision and Mission, we are expanding to involve the greater community.
We are launching more of our deeply connected experiences.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for special events and activities.
Another Way School reconnects children and adults
through direct experiences in Nature
and with horses to the interconnected, all-inclusiveness of life.
Another Way's approach fosters the integration of the child's personality through an organic connection between Nature & academics, the individual &
community, work & living space, play & art.
Outdoor Education & Friluftsliv, Mindful Horsemanship, Child-Centered Skiing, Way of the Wild: Frontier Skills and our Nature-based, Montessori approach to education are integral parts of the Another Way Teacher Training program, Parent Education, and Teen Mentoring.
Children & adults can comprehend, copy, cooperate and collaborate with Nature in ways that foster the highest good of all Life, and the natural joy that results when respect and kindness are the guiding principles.

Multi-age classrooms support the natural learning process of the child.
Our children are active learners who acquire knowledge through their own activity in direct interaction in Nature, and within Another Way prepared environments.

MEASURING SUCCESS
Success at Another Way is synonymous with children becoming respectful, capable and independent human beings who understand their connection with all Life. From an extremely early age, children learn problem-solving, critical thinking and a strong work ethic, based on understanding the purpose of an activity in refining skills to their highest levels. These conceptual understanding and resultant skill development are transferred to all life endeavors. As they mature, our children develop their social and academic skill base to a higher level than seen in the larger educational community. Respect and responsibility are promoted as good work habits, perseverance, resilience and a life long passion for learning are developed from meaningful work in collaboration with others - human and nonhuman. |
SOCIAL VALUES
A goal of Another Way is to foster the natural ability in all children to recognize the all inclusive Oneness of life and communicate with respect and kindness.
Through their experiences, the children come to recognize that "We Are All Related", a profound Native American philosophy of life.
Another Way incorporates the work of a number of innovators in the education of children; Montessori, Piaget, Cobb, Tagore and Steiner.
All of these innovators naturally supported the Native American reverence for Nature in their works.
