About Us

At Forest School Colombo, our mission is to provide a holistic educational experience that prepares children for a lifetime of curiosity, resilience, and environmental stewardship. We envision a world where children are deeply connected with nature, equipped with the skills, confidence, and knowledge to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Our approach is based on three foundational pillars:

Nature-Led Learning: Emphasizing the importance of nature as the primary teacher. Children engage in hands-on activities that foster ecological awareness and a love for the outdoors.

Child-Led Learning: Trusting in the child’s innate curiosity and capacity for self-discovery. We encourage children to lead their own learning journeys, fostering independence and self-confidence.

Context-Led Learning: Adapting to local cultures, stories, and rules-of-engagement. This approach ensures that learning is relevant and meaningful, promoting community involvement and understanding.

Our dedicated team of educators, environmentalists, and adventure activists are committed to nurturing each child's potential through immersive and engaging outdoor education. With a wealth of experience and a passion for nature-based learning, our team creates a supportive and inspiring environment for all students.

Forest School Colombo is a subsidiary of the Finnish Preschool in Colombo, following Finland's world-renowned education system. Our founder, Mr. Yasmin Mubarak, has over 16 years of experience in early childhood education and training. Under his leadership, we strive to provide an exceptional educational experience that combines the best practices from Finland with the unique opportunities offered by our natural surroundings.

Join us at Forest School Colombo, where children explore, learn, and grow in the embrace of nature, preparing them for a future of endless possibilities.
