Grow With Us!
We’re just getting started—and looking for a handful of like-minded families to grow alongside us.
If your family values outdoor play, rich stories, hands-on learning, and strong community, you might be just the kind of folks we’re hoping to meet.
Let’s raise wild, wise kids—together.
Built by Parents, For Families Like Yours
We’ve experienced public school, private school, and homeschool—and we’ve seen the beauty and the struggle in each. Stonewall Forest Academy is our answer to the question: What if education felt more like real life—and less like a system?
We’re a small, community-centered program designed by two homeschooling parents who left corporate life to build something better—for our own kids and for others seeking the same.
Here, learning happens through living stories, meaningful work, time in nature, and deep friendships.
Our approach blends the gentle structure of Charlotte Mason with the creativity and rhythm of Waldorf—all in a peaceful, connected environment where families feel supported and children thrive.

🌳 Nature as the First Classroom
Daily outdoor adventures foster resilience, observation skills, and wonder.
📚 Living Books and Storytelling
We replace dry textbooks with rich literature, historical tales, and Scripture, encouraging a lifelong love of learning.
✋ Meaningful Work and Practical Skills
Students develop literacy, math, science, and entrepreneurial skills through real-world projects—like managing a farm stand, foraging, and crafting.
Our Weekly Rhythm
Serving Pre-K through 8th Grade
Children meet 3 days a week—Tuesdays through Thursdays, 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM—in small, mixed-age groups.
Math is taught by ability, not grade level. Lessons are hands-on, story-based, and rooted in nature, habit training, and meaningful work.
Are we on the same page?
If you’re looking for a homeschool community that nurtures curiosity, hands-on discovery, and a deep connection to nature, we would be honored to welcome your family to Stonewall Forest Academy.
