Why Wildwood? A New Option for Homeschool Families
As more families explore homeschooling, one truth becomes clear: you don’t have to do it all alone. Whether you're brand new to homeschooling or a seasoned pro, having the right community, curriculum, and rhythm can make all the difference. That’s where Wildwood Academy comes in — a fresh, Waldorf-inspired option for homeschool families in Southwest Washington.
🌿 What Is Wildwood Academy?
Wildwood Academy is a small, nurturing microschool for homeschoolers in grades 2–8, grounded in Waldorf principles and rooted in nature. We're not a public school. We're not a co-op. We’re something new — a hybrid learning center designed to support families who want a more meaningful, connected, and creative education for their children.
Whether your family is seeking full-time enrichment or part-time structure, Wildwood helps you create a homeschool rhythm that works — without sacrificing joy, community, or academic depth.
🎨 What Makes Us Different?
We believe that education is more than memorizing facts. At Wildwood, we nurture the whole child — head, heart, and hands — through:
Hands-on, project-based learning
Nature immersion and seasonal rhythm
Storytelling, art, and music woven into academics
Small group size for deeper connection and 1:1 attention
Low-pressure environment that honors developmental readiness
We also believe that learning should be joyful. That kids should feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and express themselves. And that families should feel supported, not stressed.
🌎 Who Is Wildwood For?
Wildwood is perfect for families who:
✅ Are registered homeschoolers (or planning to be)
✅ Want structure and support, but not a rigid school system
✅ Value creativity, nature, and hands-on experiences
✅ Need flexible part-time or full-time options
✅ Feel like their child isn’t thriving in traditional school
If you've ever thought “I want something better, but I don’t want to do it all alone,” Wildwood might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
✨ What a Day at Wildwood Looks Like
A typical day at Wildwood might include:
Morning circle with movement, music, and verse
Main lesson time with storytelling, science, history, or math
Artistic expression through painting, modeling, or drawing
Outdoor exploration, nature journaling, or gardening
Handwork like knitting or woodworking
Group games, social learning, and shared meals
Our mixed-age model creates a family-like atmosphere where older and younger students learn from each other — and everyone feels seen.
