Wild Roots Homeschool Group

a secular inclusive self-directed learning collaborative

Your Journey Begins Here

Rooted in nature, guided by it’s members, lead by parent volunteers.

This is how it all started…

Wild Roots Homeschool Collab began their mission in 2021 to create an inclusive, secular, and holistic child-led learning experience for children K-8. Our true passion at the time was to create a community that openly supported marginalized groups in Eastern Chesterfield and surrounding areas. We define inclusiveness as being open and accepting to all, while embracing and celebrating our differences. Our members come from a variety of backgrounds as well as a beautifully eclectic array of life and learning styles. We believe that by providing a safe, inclusive environment, children can find themselves and truly celebrate who they are allowing the rest to fall beautifully into place.

Self-Directed Learning

Self-directed learning allows our members to steer their learning journey exactly where their interests and curiosity lead. One of the biggest perks? Development of critical life skills such as self-discipline, problem-solving, and the ability to seek out and evaluate information effectively and fosters a lifelong love for learning. It turns the process into an adventure, not a chore.

Nature Based Learning

Nature-based learning isn’t just a breath of fresh air—it’s a full-on gust of brain-boosting, mood-enhancing, and skill-sharpening goodness! Ditching the traditional classroom for the great outdoors, students experience a hands-on, dirt-under-the-fingernails kind of education. It’s where textbooks meet the tactile, and lessons are learned not just through reading and writing, but by doing and exploring.

Strong Community

Building a strong homeschool community isn’t just about having a group to swap books with or a reason to get out of the house on Tuesdays for co-op classes. It’s about creating a vibrant, supportive network that enriches the homeschooling experience for both parents and children. We provide a plethora of opportunities for members to interact, engage, and form friendships with peers who have diverse interests and backgrounds. Additionally, community service projects and volunteer opportunities give our members a chance to engage and enrich learning and deepen their sense of belonging.
