Rowan Tree Children's School

You have questions. We have answers.

Choosing a school is a big decision—and it’s natural to have questions about how your child will learn, grow, and prepare for the future.

Here are three questions we often hear from families discovering Rowan Tree:

"Is holistic education academic?"
Absolutely. Children develop strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, science, social studies, and more. We bring learning to life through meaningful experiences, stories, the arts, movement, nature, and hands-on exploration.

"What makes Rowan Tree different?"
We educate the whole child—head, heart, and hands. Academics are woven together with creativity, movement, practical experiences, nature connection, and strong relationships. We honour childhood while nurturing capable, curious, and confident learners.

"Will my child be prepared for high school?"
Yes. Throughout Grades 1–8, students build strong academic foundations alongside independence, critical thinking, communication, creativity, resilience, and confidence—skills that serve them well wherever their journey takes them next.

And these are just the beginning.

Every child’s journey begins with connection.

At Rowan Tree Children’s School, we believe education is a relationship that grows over time. From a child’s earliest years through their elementary journey, each stage builds upon the last—nurturing confidence, curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

🌱 Parent & Child
Our youngest learners begin their journey surrounded by warmth, rhythm, and connection. Through songs, stories, movement, and seasonal activities, children and caregivers build community together.

🌿 Preschool
Children begin to discover the joy of learning through imaginative play, meaningful routines, creative exploration, and connection to nature.

🌼 Nature Kindergarten
Children grow in independence and confidence as they explore, create, problem-solve, and develop a sense of wonder through outdoor learning and rich classroom experiences.

🌳 Grades 1–8
Students continue to flourish through a balanced education that weaves together academics, the arts, movement, nature, and hands-on experiences—developing capable, compassionate, and curious learners.

✨ Through every stage, children are known, supported, and encouraged to become their best selves.

From first songs to first stories, from first discoveries to lifelong learning—we are honoured to walk alongside children and families on this journey. 🌿

Welcome to a different way of learning. 🌿

At Rowan Tree Children's School, we believe children learn best when education meets them where they are and inspires their natural curiosity.

Our holistic approach is rooted in the understanding that childhood is not a race—it's a journey. Through rich stories, meaningful academics, artistic expression, movement, nature connection, and hands-on experiences, children build strong foundations for lifelong learning.

We shape learning around the needs of the child.

✨ We nurture curiosity.
🌱 We celebrate childhood.
🍃 We connect learning to the real world.
❤️ We educate the whole child—head, heart, and hands.

Think nature-based learning means less academics? Think again. 🌿

At Rowan Tree, our students experience a rigorous academic program enriched by time outdoors, hands-on exploration, and meaningful connections to the world around them.

Our Grade 8 graduates leave with the literacy, numeracy, scientific thinking, and critical thinking skills they need for the next step in their education—plus the curiosity, confidence, and resilience that come from learning deeply.

Nature doesn’t take away from learning. It helps learning grow.

A Different Kind of Summer.

This summer, the best memories weren't made on a screen—they were made outside.

Children climbed fallen logs, spotted wildlife, built shelters, played games, created with their hands, and discovered just how capable they are when given the freedom to explore.

Every muddy boot, every curious question, and every shared adventure helped build confidence, resilience, and a deeper connection with the natural world.

That's the kind of summer we believe every child deserves. 🌿

If this feels like the kind of childhood you want for your child, keep Rowan Tree Summer Camp in mind for next year. We'd love to welcome your family into the forest.
