Project-Based and Nature Curriculum

Our curriculum is deeply rooted in nature, focusing on project-based learning that encourages students to take the lead in their own educational journey. Through hands-on experiences, students learn about the environment, wildlife, and the importance of sustainable living.

Wilderness Exploration

We embrace the wilderness as our classroom, offering students the opportunity to explore various locations throughout San Diego. From tide pools to hiking trails, each location presents a unique learning opportunity.

Life Skills

Beyond academics, we emphasize the development of practical life skills that empower children to become self-reliant and resourceful. Skills such as cooking, gardening, natural building, and crafting are woven into the fabric of our program.

Plant Identification

Students will become botanists in their own right as they learn to identify and appreciate the diverse plant life that surrounds them. This knowledge fosters a deep connection with the environment and an understanding of the critical role plants play in our ecosystem.

Dynamic, Student-Centered Approach

No two days are the same at Kidwings. Our curriculum is flexible, allowing us to tailor each lesson to the interests of the students and the spontaneous discoveries made in the field. Whether it's finding an octopus in a tide pool or tracking animals on a trail, these real-world encounters guide our lessons.

Kidwings Nature School for Homeschoolers is not just a school; it's an adventure. We invite you to join us in exploring the wonders of the natural world, developing essential life skills, and embracing the spontaneity of learning in nature. Here, education is an exploration, and every day is an opportunity to be amazed.
