Arising from a long tradition of experiential learning at Eagle's Nest, this school away from school focuses on environmental education, regional studies, and the arts, and centers the students and faculty in community life. The Overlake School Outdoor Education Program was born under the philosophy that students learn and grow in an outdoor environment. Our trips emphasize cooperation, perseverance, concentration, judgment, and leadership by creating an experience in which the wilderness and the activities involved challenge the students to address these traits. Pine Ridge School Pine Ridge School is an educational community committed to assisting adolescents with learning disabilities to define and achieve success throughout their lives. We offer an intensive academic program, emphasizing the development of strong skills in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Environmental stewardship is an emphasis across the curriculum.
The mission of Sprout House, a primary and elementary school, is to provide a home-like setting in which happy and inquisitive children develop positive and eager attitudes toward school. The school fosters a planetary consciousness which embraces environmental beauty and preservation, as well as an awareness that all children deserve participation in societies where people can sustain themselves, live healthfully, feel stimulated, fulfilled, and happy. The curriculum is designed to help children realize the pleasures of learning, and to enjoy working and playing with other children and adults. A strong but unpressured emphasis is placed on science and the school provides extensive experience with objects in the environment. Children come to feel connected with nature, and to have respect for their surroundings.
