Valencia Forest School is a British-inspired, Scandinavian-inspired environmental education project. Our methodology focuses on self-directed learning and personal and emotional development through play, creativity and multi-sensory experiences in nature.
Our Play School for children ages 3 to 6 is a fantastic alternative to schooling in the non-compulsory stage of early childhood education. This is a bilingual English/Spanish respectful outdoor education program in which we work on the early years British curriculum (EYFS) through the Forest School methodology as described by the UK Forest School Association. At the Play School we also welcome worldschoolers 3 to 12 years old who are in Valencia on a temporary basis.
On another hand, our Forest School programs for children 3 to 12 years old on Saturdays, Summer and Easter holidays, the first week of September and Forest School activities for schools offer your child the opportunity to develop their critical thinking.
If you are a school, you will be interested to know that our Forest School day trips and programs for preschool, primary and secondary school are unique experiences that combine the learning of English with the development of personal and emotional skills such as empathy and resilience. All this in very engaging forest school sessions in which experimentation through play is the protagonist.
Valencia Forest School is the first in Spain to provide official British training to obtain the Level 3 Certificate for Forest School Leaders. If what you are interested in is understanding the methodology better to be able to apply some of its aspects in your daily life, you can also take the Level 1 Introduction to the Forest School methodology course.
Our new Forest School course for teenagers from 14 to 18 years old offers these students tailor-made sessions in which they will acquire practical bushcraft skills while enjoying the company of their peers outdoors. At the end of the program the participants obtain an official British certification that will make their young curriculum shine.
