Solid Ground School today!  We're now serving grades Prek- grades 6

We came together in 2018 because co-founders Christin Butler and Weston Lombard knew their children needed a unique educational experience.  We believed that by rooting children in nature and surrounding them with supportive community, we could grow resilient, creative young people who would grow to change the world.  We also knew that we could provide the gift of an childhood spent outdoors to more children than our own.  In 2019, we teamed up with veteran teacher Keith Barron and launched Solid Ground School with 18 children in a one-room cabin to bring this dream to as many families as we could serve.  

 From this conviction--that a child grows best within the support of resilient, healthy community--we have grown our vision of place-based education from that one-room schoolhouse to a full-service educational offering serving children from PreK through grade 6. 

We also hoped that by creating an inspiring educational community for children, we could start to provide that village we all need.
