The Outdoor Classroom

Nature School LA

Welcome to Nature School LA Forest School! The German-Immersion Outdoor Classroom. We are passionate about providing children with opportunities to experience, explore and connect with the natural environment in Los Angeles' beautiful parks and natural habitats. Here children learn at their own pace inspired by the wonder of nature and their friends. They develop deep relationships with their peers and the environment, while growing to be independent and kind leaders. The everyday little challenges foster problem solving skills, endurance, self-direction and cooperation. Sharing snack and meals bring new flavors and decision power. Exploring new paths cultivate curiosity, flexibility, courage, and comradeship.

Experience

We go on hikes, cross creeks, feel the warm sun and cool rain, jump in puddles, pick up rollie-pollies, eat food we foraged on our journey, see turtles, ducks and fish, many bugs and butterflies and their homes. We laugh together and support each other. We share meals and have good conversations. We make friends with people and animals. We are aware of our environment and the impact we have on the ecosystem, we are gentle with everything we come in contact with. We run in wide fields, we slide on pine needles and tree stomps, we jump off rocks, climb trees, build huts, collect sticks and rocks in all shapes and sizes, we craft, draw, write, and make maps. We look out for one another and ask for help. All this is possible during unstructured play.
