Our Story


In 2013 a discussion regarding the future of education rekindled a
long-held, shared vision of creating a truly holistic learning environment
. One where children can access incredible education while maintaining personal sovereignty.

We sought a location that mirrored this vision and found our home on a magical piece of land nestled among the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC.

Our Therapeutic Arts Education Model, incorporating:
*Core Academics 

*Nature Immersion
*Neuro-Developmental Modalities &
*Harmonic Integration
Became a reality as we opened our doors to children from Kindergarten through Middle School in  the Summer of 2021. 

Autumn Walk

We are now in our second year of operation, offering a learning environment where children can embrace an authentic experience of childhood! Learn More!
