About the Program
Blue Ridge Outdoor school offers a Forest Pre School program for ages 3-5, and soon to be Forest Kindergarten class. It is play-based, interest-led learning. Curriculum flows naturally based on the season and the interest of the children focusing on social emotional development. Blue Ridge Outdoor School allows children the opportunity to take supported risks, appropriate for the situation.
​
The School year starts mid August and ends Memorial day weekend. The school year calendar is available upon request.
​
Students are picked up from Grace Episcopal in downtown Lexington, and driven to a National and State Parks, private and public forests within 30 minutes. The day consists of play, community building, social emotional development, and lessons based on student interests.
Students will lead their development of counting and phonics lessons as the opportunity naturally arises, in addition to learning about science and the environment around them.
