Welcome

Earth School Aotearoa is a place-based, nature-connected learning environment for children, grounded in relationships, curiosity, and care for the more-than-human world. By enrolling your child, you are joining a learning community rooted in trust, shared responsibility, and respect for each other and the land.

Programme Understanding

Earth School Aotearoa is:

  • A nature-based, place-based learning programme

  • A supplementary / alternative education offering (not a registered school or licensed ECE centre)

  • Delivered primarily outdoors in a farm and natural environment

Families retain responsibility for their child’s overall education (including any homeschooling or school enrollment requirements).

Enrollment Form

Please read terms and conditions

*You will need permission from your child’s school to attend Earth School programme days. Please talk to your child’s school teacher and principal about the benefits to your child of attending Earth School. We have the paperwork that they will require to mark your child present at School. Earth School Aotearoa will provide the School with attendance details at the end of each school term and we will also endeavour to form a reciprocal relationship with the School so that your child’s school and Earth School can complement each other and ultimately provide the best learning for your child.
