What is Forest School?
Forest School is an educational approach that offers children regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence through hands-on learning in a natural environment. Originating in Scandinavia, this method emphasizes outdoor activities, fostering holistic growth by connecting children with nature. At Forest School, children engage in activities such as tool use, fire lighting, shelter building, and nature exploration, encouraging curiosity, resilience, and teamwork. The environment serves as a dynamic classroom, promoting physical, emotional, and social development through experiential learning and play.
