What Alumni are Saying

"I wish it was the norm for every kid to have this deep connection with nature and to learn through nature, especially in today’s world. [Where I work now] puts gardens in public schools and integrates that learning into the standard curriculum. That’s the work that needs to get done, and to [have children] keep that in their hearts.” 

-Amber, '88

“One of the biggest things people are searching for is a village—but they don’t always know how to be a villager. At Family School, we learned how to be great neighbors and friends. We learned how to lean on each other. [Family School] was a place where no question was a stupid question. We were taught to tap into multiple strengths: connect, be curious, and work through disagreements—which is so important in life, not just in school."

- Isabel, '12

"What I learned from Family School was that, if you have a passion, you can make it big if you try, and also if you want. AND, if you do this, you will probably still have the passion years later. 

Katherine, '25
