Testimonials

“I could hug you! I was chatting with “student’s mom” yesterday and she shared the same information with me, I won’t lie, it brought tears to my eyes. She said she felt like she got her child back. What you are doing is so so so essential for kids like this student I am just sad that this cant be his forever school. I am so so thankful for you and what you are accomplishing with these kids that our systems simply cannot/do not support in the way you can.”

“My heart is happy, my eyes and cheeks are wet…  I am grateful! This opportunity for our student at this moment in his life, is powerful. Full of appreciation for you for making these opportunities happen for our kiddos! I am so thrilled that we were in the same classroom having a conversation about a camp and a kiddo! I am grateful for your kind approach and your ability to connect with kids that need you the most! Ya’ll made my day!”

My son tells me, “I don’t need to catch up at school, because I’m learning twice as much than other kids at school.” He loves it!.

Congratulations on your successful first day!

Your level of success is beyond a level I can even imagine. I feel so excited just seeing your forest school grow. Congratulations.

“Pictou County Forest School is an incredible Compliment to public education. If people are worried about taking time away from school, I believe the educational benefits far outweigh the curriculum time lost. There are many curriculum connections and additionally, the atmosphere fosters genuine curiosity and interest in learning and that motivational piece is worth its weight in gold!”

“My kids never tell me anything about their day when they come home from their regular school.   I ask them questions and they give me one-word answers or nothing at all.   When I pick them up from Forest School they tell me every detail about their day and talk nonstop.”

You guys are hitting it out of the park!  The boys don’t realize they’re at school when they are at Forest School, and yet learning so many valuable life lessons.”
