Testimonials NICHOLE ANDREW Parent If you are looking for a small school atmosphere with a truly unique learning experience where students are encouraged to explore, inquire, collaborate, create, analyze, and solve relevant problems through their experiential learning approach, then we highly recommend 2nd Nature Academy! LEAH DONAHUE Parent [2nd Nature Academy] has fostered an incredible sense of individualism, acceptance, creative thinking, critical thinking, project-based learning, kindness—the list goes on. [My daughter] wakes up excited to go to school, and the staff and teachers truly and genuinely care for [her]. I feel she couldn't be better supported or positioned for a successful future. DEREK BOBBIT Alumnus Their advanced classes gave me a boost for the complex math [and science] that I am currently learning. I also find projects are easier for me to manage [because of my experience at 2nd Nature Academy] and the curriculum helped me gain merit badges for the Boy Scouts. 2nd Nature Academy gave me the foundation I needed to make it to where I am today. LAUREN & RICK HAJJAR Parents In addition to a strong academic focus, our children are learning the competencies needed for future success such as empathy, self and group awareness, financial management and communication skills. [...] Most importantly, they are happy at 2nd Nature Academy. They feel respected, heard and understood within this school community. At the end of the day, that is our measure of success! ELIZABETH CUNNINGHAM Parent Kids develop critical thinking skills and solve their own interpersonal conflicts with support and guidance from the staff. They learn the importance of respect, communication and working as a team. As we teach and reinforce these same values at home, I can see these skills emerging in my 7-year old son; and as a result I see increased self-confidence and greater independence.

Climbing, running, jumping, throwing, catching, and balancing are critical to the development of youths. Therefore, it is our policy to go outdoors most days, in rain or shine. However, certain weather conditions may prevent us from going out. Heavy rain, thunderstorms, extreme cold, and icy conditions, for example, would be instances when we would keep students inside. In addition, we will frequently be working in the garden, hiking in the woods, and observing wildlife in the fields and around the ponds. We request, then, that your student is appropriately dressed for rugged outdoor activities.
