Experiential Sessions at GrassRoots Middle

GrassRoots Middle offers a unique educational experience beyond the traditional classroom setting for homeschool families and children aged 10-14. Our BIPOC-centered, nature and service-based program is held in the Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring seasons. There are 4-5 drop-off sessions (from 1:00 - 3:30 p.m.) on Fridays throughout a season. Service opportunities and meet-ups happen throughout the week. We offer spots for 10-12 children and have one registration period throughout the year, which is our Autumn session.

 
Please email us for more information.
