Home Education

Partnering with Homeschool Families

At Northwoods Forest School, we believe homeschooling is a beautiful journey of discovery and growth—for both children and parents. While we are not a school replacement, we are here to help you navigate and enhance your homeschooling experience with structured support, accountability, and enriching activities.

How We Support Homeschool Families:

Meeting Minnesota Requirements: Northwoods satisfies the requirements for P.E., Earth Science, Social Studies, and Art.
Enriching Education: Through Nature Journaling, writing and penmanship, research on animals and trees, meaningful conversations, and holistic learning, we provide tools to strengthen your child's academic journey.
Developing Life Skills: Our program focuses on handwork, practical skills, and inner work that foster confidence, creativity, and independence.
Encouraging Social Growth: Northwoods offers a welcoming and supportive community where children can build friendships, practice collaboration, and learn to navigate social interactions in a natural, inclusive environment.
Guidance and Accountability: We help craft a structured plan for your year, provide feedback, and offer observations to assist with reporting and record-keeping requirements.

With Northwoods, you’ll gain a partner who respects your unique homeschooling approach while providing the tools, experiences, and social connections to create a meaningful, well-rounded year.
