SCENE (Secular Classes in an Enriching, Nurturing Environment)
These weekly gatherings and classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, usually from 10 am – 2:30 pm. Sessions are offered twice each year, Fall and Spring. Each session includes a variety of classes for all ages. We end each semester with a week or two for needed makeup classes plus a “showcase” of classes who wish to share their learning and projects. Forest School meets Tuesdays in November and March, and features classes themed around our outdoor setting.
We offer classes on a wide variety of topics and interests. Some are professionally led, most are led by parents in the community, and some are cooperatively led. Past offerings have included art, dance, music, creative writing, science, history, individual and group sports, and finance. Parents are encouraged to offer classes in their area of interest!
Class fees include a nominal fee for space rental and are otherwise determined by the teacher. Fees can range from $20-$100 depending on the teacher fee and offering.
