Fern Creek Academy
Private School & Learning Center
We are transitioning into a Private School
Our Goals
Our goal is to cultivate a safe and enriching learning environment for children through nature, play, and a rich curriculum. Our mission is to inspire children's curiosity and interests in innovative ways. We have the vision to harvest the skills of each student while we embrace their self-awareness growth and nurture their social-emotional needs. We strive to weave agriculture and nature into our daily learning and routine.
Rich Curriculum
We have a 3 room school house surrounded by nature. Our lead teacher has 10 years of classroom experience, served as lead teacher in multiple districts, has 4 college degrees in the arts, general education, special education, and leadership/administration.
All students will be exposed to grade level content, assessed with common formative assessments, and have small group and 1-1 learning experiences.
It is the mission of Fern Creek Academy to fuse nature and agriculture with rich academic curriculum, daily.
Nature & Agriculture
Along with the rich academic curriculum, we have gardening and a small barnyard.
Fern Creek Academy encompasses raised beds, a small greenhouse, outdoor classroom, a creek. The barnyard has chickens, rabbits, goats, and other animal visits.
Students and staff will garden outdoors and in the greenhouse. They will learn homesteading art such as harvest canning, sewing, preservation, and cooking alongside rigorous academic skills.
Social-Emotional
The entire day is based on learning and interaction with nature, animals, agriculture, and each other. Students enjoy sitting around a campfire and in hammocks at the peace square, rock hunting in the creek, and exploring the campus.
We strongly believe that all humans have the ability to learn. We know that it is in the most safe and comfortable environment, they learn best.
