ACCELERATED WOLF!
Our new program to allow your teenager to join the Ancestral Skills students.
With the introduction of the Ancestral Skills Apprenticeship program,
we have been receiving inquiries as to how a student could enroll without
achieving that level three in the Wolf.
Our answer is the Accelerated Wolf program.
This program is being designed for the teenager who with the help
from a parent or adult, can work at home and with email correspondence to
Quiet Heart, they can obtain the necessary knowledge and skills to join
the Ancestral Skills students. This
program is soon to be available. Contact
our office for further information.
ONGOING PROGRAMS!
OWLE program
OWLE is our day long Friday and Saturday program, it
presently has ten to fourteen students each day, sharing responsibilities as
a tribe. We play together,
learn together and do chores together.
We learn how to build emergency shelters, make primitive arrows,
collect pitch from conifers for glue, how to make a fire pit, and build
and maintain a fire. Then
there is lunch, learning to cook over a fire, that’s another new
experience. What fun!
The
core teachings of the OWLE program are about responsibility, respect, team
building and problem solving. This unique program for 8 to 15 year old students
begins on September 19th for the Friday tribe in Woodinville and on the
20th for the
Saturday tribe back in
PRESCHOOL CURRICULUM
We are pleased to announce that our
preschool curriculum designed for 3- to 5-year-olds is growing. We
have brought in Dawn and Laura to begin teaching the curriculum in other
schools. This program was created to follow the seasons and the
calendar with a Montessori attitude toward learning. The fact that
this program was designed to come into a existing preschool situations, we
are always looking for invitations to come to your preschoolers
classroom. Added to your
preschooler's existing program, this will open their eyes and minds to the
view of a naturalist. There is classroom time available for your
young naturalist’s preschool or group.
Please contact our office, if you or your preschool is interested
in more information, or for a copy of our detailed course outline.
