A one-room schoolhouse on the family farm
Bringing back an old-fashioned approach to education with a focus on outdoor learning and life skills.
I'm looking for…
Mornings at the table, afternoons outside
Mornings
Reading, math, science and social studies.
After lunch
Students head outside. “We’ll be outside at least half a day every day.”
Faith
The school will use a Christian curriculum, in a family-oriented environment.
Appalachian traditions
Community members have offered to volunteer teaching skills like canning and other Appalachian traditions.
Erin Miller
19 years of experience with Morgan County Schools. “I just enjoy the small family closeness of those schools.”
Olivia Nelson
Will teach the youngest grades. “I just want it to be very informal, and to show there’s more than just reading, writing, arithmetic that make people smart.”
I don’t want the school desk. I want a dining room table. We all sit together, we all work together, the older kids helping the younger kids.

Grow food, care for livestock
