The Walden Experience is a member organized program. The part-time (Monday-Tuesday 10am-2pm) outdoor homeschool experience offers hands-on, creative programming inspired by Waldorf learning methods (rich in literature, writing, science, geography, and history) meeting each family with warmth and joy. The Walden Experience stands out with its unique approach to home education in Western North Carolina. Walden offers a distinctive blend of hands-on, creative programming inspired by Waldorf learning methods, and warmly embraces each family, offering an all-outdoor K-6 program (weather permitting).
​The Walden Experience home base is in Cashiers, NC. The outdoor location and indoor weather-backup locations will be provided upon registration. In the K-6 program, Walden fosters a deep connection with the natural world and our community. Students at Walden are welcomed to a place of respect and encouragement, where they learn to be self-sufficient and are provided the space to flourish. The curriculum, pedagogy, and teaching methods are designed to nurture and realize each student's unique potential.​
The Walden Experience offers flexible programming and support to the growing homeschool community in Western North Carolina seeking a holistic education. Walden welcomes those parents interested in an education inspired by Waldorf methods and a "whole child" view of human development, or those seeking a more part-time experience to enrich and supplement their other homeschool choices.
Parents outside of the Walden Experience may homeschool their children however they choose. Walden parents and teachers are available to provide inspiration and ideas that complement this supplemental program.
