Ahava Microschool
WHO WE ARE
Ahava is a nature school with a microschool setup, offering a unique and intimate learning environment with a low student to teacher ratio. This setting allows for personalized attention, fostering a sense of community where students work together, care for one another, and support each other's growth. We cultivate a positive learning environment, which creates a space where each individual's unique abilities are recognized, celebrated, and nurtured.
This holistic approach not only enhances academic learning but also fosters the development of social and emotional skills. By valuing each student’s distinct talents and perspectives, Ahava creates a supportive ecosystem where everyone can thrive and contribute meaningfully to the community. In this environment, students are empowered to explore their interests, build confidence in their abilities, and reach their full potential.
WHAT WE OFFER
Ahava is a part-time homeschool hybrid program offering a flexible approach to education for students 5 to 10 years old. This model allows families to combine home-based learning with nature-based learning supported by peers. With options for either a 2-day week or a 4-day week, families can choose the schedule that best fits their needs and preferences.
Ultimately, the decision between a 2-day and 4-day social engagement option depends on the unique needs and preferences of each family. Both choices offer benefits in terms of social interaction, learning opportunities, and flexibility, allowing parents to tailor their child's educational journey to align with their values and goals. By considering the balance between freedom and structure, families can create a supportive environment that nurtures their child's growth and development.
Four Days A Week
Our 4-day-a-week option provides a more structured routine for families seeking a balance between flexibility and consistency. This schedule offers more opportunities for planned activities, such as fieldtrips, group projects, or workshops, that complement homeschooling principles. With a regular routine, children can develop a sense of stability while engaging in a diverse range of activities that cater to their interests and learning styles. This option may suit families looking for a blend of independence and guided learning experiences for their children.
