Join From Your Own Community

For our Founding Year, we are welcoming founding families or groups to experience The Sacred Oak Way from wherever you live - rooted in your own home, land, or community, with personalized mentorship, structure, and village-level support.

Cycle 1: A 5-Month Mentorship & Consulting Experience

Cycle 1: A 5-Month Mentorship & Consulting Experience

Whether you want to start something new or reclaim education for your own family, Sacred Oak offers a clear, supportive pathway forward.

Who This Is For

This option is designed for:

  • single families

  • homeschool groups

  • micro-schools

  • learning pods or community hubs

You may be just beginning, or already walking this path and seeking clarity, cohesion, and support. Each group receives personalized mentorship, with varying levels of involvement depending on your needs.

Cycle 1: A 5-Month Mentorship & Consulting Experience

Founding families begin with Cycle 1, a five-month guided experience designed to help you build strong foundations - without overwhelm or isolation.

This cycle supports you to:

  • simplify the process of child-led, real-life learning

  • build rhythm, clarity, and momentum

  • rebuild trust and harmony within your family or group

  • feel confident and supported as you move forward

You are not handed a curriculum. You are guided in creating a learning life that fits your children, your values, and your real context.

How It Works

Joining Sacred Oak From Your Own Community

Sacred Oak supports families and groups step by step. This is a guided process - not a program to keep up with.

Pilot Pricing & Founding Family Role

This Founding Families experience is offered at a significant introductory pilot rate in exchange for:

  • feedback and reflection

  • co-learning as we refine the model

  • helping shape the future of The Sacred Oak Way

By the end of Cycle 1, your family or group will be equipped to continue independently - with the tools, confidence, mentorship, and educational foundation you need.

Pricing varies based on level of support:

  • ~$300 per family

  • Up to ~$1,000 per group

Invitational and Rich Learning Environments

For families and communities at home, we offer mentorship and guidance to help you create your own rich environments - one step at a time.

We will support you in intentionally designing invitations. The spaces themselves support autonomy, regulation, creativity, and real-world skill building.

Rooted in global educational philosophies - Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Anji Play, Forest School, and land-based learning - our environments are designed to offer children rich experiences, engaging materials, and meaningful mentorship.

We believe the space itself is a teacher. Children are trusted with real tools, real choice, and real responsibility, within environments that support autonomy, creativity, regulation, and deep learning.

Together we will allow The Way of the Child

Child-Centered, Personalized & Responsive Education

Sacred Oak honors each child’s unique brilliance. Learning is personalized, responsive, and rooted in autonomy, real-life projects, and meaningful work. Children are supported in following their interests, igniting passion and purpose, and developing confidence and pride in their abilities.

Through both personalized and interdependent projects, children learn to trust themselves, build self-agency, advocate for their needs, and recognize their strengths. Each child’s gifts are celebrated and woven into shared work, allowing them to experience both independence and belonging.
