  • Personalized Education

    Fireside Academy is for parents who want their child to have a unique and personalized education. We support families who are homeschooling, blended schooling, or seeking an individualized learning experience.

  • Blended Educational Approach

    We use a blended method of Montessori materials and philosophies from Rudolf Steiner, Charlotte Mason, and others that honor the child as a whole being.

  • Nature & Community Connection

    Students connect with nature and community every day through gardening, feeding animals, cleaning projects, and supporting the enrichment of our land and people.

For Intentional Families

We are a good fit for families that view themselves as a steward of their child’s education and would like to be a part of a village that serves and supports them. We are commited to building honest and meaningful relationships with the families that we partner with.

Flexible & Supportive

Our mornings are spent in academic study and aftertoons spent outside caring for and connecting to our land, animals, and people. We are currently accepting students that are 6-9 years old in the mornings and students from 6-12 in the afternoons. We offer different part time options as well as full time.

Something Deeper

We believe that who are being matters more than what we do. Students who attend our school will leave with the ability to bring compassion and curiosity to challenging experiences, to be aware of their choices and impacts, and to think of solutions in terms of what will bring the greatest good for themselves and others.
