Laplander partners with Pines Forest School
New definition of education
Pines is a British forest school based on the Scandinavian model, founded by British OCN-trained forest school practitioners. Our ethos grows out of the belief that risk-taking and self-directed learning are essential to successfully supporting the development of young people. The basic principle of our business puts the community at the center of everything we do. We focus on the relationship between our students and the natural world, while promoting a comprehensive approach to learning. This approach leads our students to become competent, creative, intelligent, independent, confident, resilient and compassionate individuals who care about the world around them.
Outdoor learning regardless of weather or season. Re-acquainting children with nature. Risk-benefit education, tracking courses, flora and fauna identification, shelter construction, tool use, knots, fire safety and carpentry. Promoting teaching focused on developing knowledge, creativity, courage, intelligence, independence, confidence, resilience and compassion.
Pines is proud to offer a program that follows the original vision of Frederich Foebel's Forest School.
Pines offers learners the opportunity to safely take risks that are right for themselves and the environment, in our forest complex. We use a range of student-centered processes to lay the groundwork for growth and learning. We spend 100% of our time outdoors, working closely with people of different skills and age groups, creating a community that cares about the environment as well as each other.
