River Flower School currently serves 30 children aged between 3 and 12. We are a 'homeschool' school, with children from many nationalities. We are an alternative project that places great emphasis on learning in nature; our school has an organic farm, horses, chickens, ducks, rabbits and dogs and is next to a beautiful river and waterfall with acres of mixed woodland. We are inspired by Waldorf Education and have a Forest School too. Teaching is in English although we serve a multi-national community. The project already works with experienced teachers, child rights activists, artists, musicians and permaculture experts, who are ready to welcome you to our magical waterfall valley community!
