Woods of the World – Uvita

The morning sun rises over the campus, and the children gather outdoors under the trees. Their day begins with a circle of songs and movement, followed by time to explore nature’s playground—digging in the sand, collecting leaves, or caring for the school garden. Through storytelling, art, and imaginative play, they begin to understand the rhythms of the day and their place in the community.

​

For the younger children, their day flows from hands-on lessons in math and language to outdoor exploration, where science comes alive through observation and experiments in the natural world. Afternoons are filled with painting, music, and handcrafts, integrating creativity into academic learning.

​

The older children begin with morning discussions, where current events, literature, or nature discoveries spark conversation. Their learning dives deeper into science, history, and critical thinking projects—always tied to real-life experiences and community engagement. Time outdoors is balanced with collaborative problem-solving, artistic expression, and mentorship of younger students, allowing them to step into responsibility while still being guided with care.

​

The day closes with reflection, a chance to connect as a group, and gratitude for the day’s experiences.
