WE ARE NOW ENROLLING FOR 2025-26
Give your child the gift of hands-on learning, natural exploration, and the freedom to grow at their own pace with Stonewall Forest Academy, a dedicated homeschool cooperative in Smith County, TN. Founded in February 2025 by two passionate professionals who took a step back their traditional careers of lawyer and business executive to commit fully to homeschooling their own child and serving families in the community, our program provides a rich, hands-on learning experience in a nurturing, small-group environment.
Our approach blends child-led education with the wonders of the outdoors, fostering curiosity, independence, and a love for learning.
At Stonewall Forest Academy, we believe children learn best through experience. Our nature-based setting allows them to explore science, math, literacy, and practical life skills while immersed in the beauty of the natural world. From storytelling under the trees to hands-on activities with real-world applications, every lesson is designed to engage young minds without rigid schedules or screens!
🌿 “Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” — Albert Einstein
