To best serve the students and community, we have adopted what is typically referred to as a “balanced year” calendar. This schedule provides a more consistent learning environment than the traditional agrarian calendar and better serves our ethos of sustainable, natural cycles. With frequent, shorter breaks spread even throughout the year, children and families receive a more balanced flow to their schooling experience while allowing for more flexible and consistent opportunities to recharge. The visual calendar below shows the balance achieved by this format, with the breaks in blue and the learning sessions in green. We alternate between a one or two-week breaks between sessions.
