Alaska Forest School LLC

A school without walls can provide the most important education. The child’s experience comes first and a connection to the outdoors is of paramount importance.

Teachers are learning allies, rather than instructors. They help children find answers to their own questions and explore their interests deeper. Our place-based philosophy helps children establish a relationship with the land where they live. Children gain skills for exploring and adventuring in the outdoors. https://sites.google.com/view/akforestschool/store?authuser=0

Hike 10:00 am at Thunderbird Falls- this is not a guided hike, but just a group start. There are rolling hills, but a jogging stroller can handle it. The walk down to the river is best walked.
