How to enroll

  1. 01

    Step 1: Get in touch

    Write to us with the form on the contact page, or call the farmhouse. Reece or Kassidy answers, usually within a day or two.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Visit the school

    Come for a visit day. Your child sits in on a morning, you see both rooms, and we talk about what your family is looking for. Visit days run on Wednesdays from September to May.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Apply

    Apply after a visit. The application asks about your family and what a school day at home has looked like. Applications open in January for the fall, and we read them as they arrive.

  4. 04

    Step 4: Hear from us

    We write back within two weeks of a visit day, by letter and by phone. If every place is taken, a family can join the waitlist.

  5. 05

    Step 5: The first day

    The first day is in late August. Families come to the porch for a short meeting, and then students begin at their own pace.
