Wednesdays 10 am - 2:30 pm
Located at a horse farm in Hillsboro
Students will be outdoors all day with access to covered buildings for some shelter from the elements. Programming is available to children ages 5 - 11 years old.
Ages 5 & 6
Children learn in a natural environment through curiosity, play and discovery. Children will be exposed to horses, goats, barn cats, guardian dogs, chickens and whatever wild animals the 100+ acres, creeks and lakes have to offer. We will be focusing on social emotional skills as well as motor skills as well as adapting to the thought process that there is no such thing as bad weather, which allows us to become resilient and confident together. There will be a daily read aloud with tea time, and students will be exposed to a feast of poetry and living books.
Ages 7 & 8
Children automatically become hands-on in nature. It provokes children into thought, action, and formulating their own ideas. When they are involved in experiences with nature, they are absorbed and completely attentive to what is at hand. We seek to support them in this by providing natural environments to explore and adding tools to enhance explorations because when children connect with nature and develop their own personal relationship with it, the relationship will carry meaning into their understanding of nature and ultimately, it's creator.
Ages 9, 10 and 11
Problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, people management and coordinating with others are the top five life skills. Our goal is to help our students gain those skills and many more through a focus on care of person, care of environment and social relations. We believe self worth comes from successfully accomplishing meaningful tasks, so we aim to equip our students with opportunities to gain skills and ultimately a greater confidence in themselves and their capabilities. This exposure to the real world will help feed their need for meaning and purpose, allowing them to be curious about who God created them to be.
*Launching the 2025-2026 school year is our Professional Communication Program at Farm School for students ages 12 and 13 years old*
This program is designed to be the next step for our students after they age out of regular programming. It's an opportunity for them to gain and master skills needed to become a purpose-driven, socially responsible leader in life and as they prepare to step into their first jobs in their teens.
Skills such as communication, problem solving, people management, critical thinking, and coordinating with others will be used daily, preparing them for any professional pursuits they may have. This program will highlight what the daily operations look like of running a small business, and these students will get to assist in teaching with opportunities to lead, gaining confidence in a leadership role amongst both peers and younger students.
We believe this program is vital to the success of our students as they graduate from our divisions so pricing on this is very cost-effective to ensure everybody who wants access can enroll.
Please e-mail Krystal@homeschoolwithintegrity.com to inquire on openings in this program.
The goal of this program is to support the whole family and not the student alone, so community is a space we are really intentional about. There are family social events, nature meet-ups, mother culture nights, a summer book club, opportunities to serve together and more!
