Polaris School and Centre offers children something increasingly rare:
an education rooted in nature, movement, imagination, and real human connection - completely screen-free.
Here, children spend their days learning through experience - exploring forests, developing practical skills, gardening, building resilience and teamwork through our Nature Connect Fridays, and expressing themselves through art, music, and handwork.
Half of our students rely on financial assistance to be here.
And because Polaris receives no government funding, we are sustained entirely by community generosity.
We believe that any child who needs this nurturing education should be able to receive it, no matter their family’s financial situation. Your support protects that commitment.
Your donation will help us:
- Keep financial assistance available for families who need it
- Sustain dedicated teachers who bring warmth, creativity, and care every day, and earn much less than in the public system
- Maintain a curriculum that encourages curiosity, resilience, imagination, and belonging
“Our son comes home full of joy, covered in dirt, stories, and confidence. Polaris has given him the childhood we always hoped for.”
