Birches School

Birches School: Learning in Harmony with the Natural World Birches School is an independent, all gender, Kindergarten through 8th Grade school offering rigorous, interdisciplinary academics within a mindful, nurturing environment. Our approach emphasizes nature-based, project-driven thematic units designed to cultivate academic and social development and to encourage students' curiosity, creativity, self-reliance, and empathy. Located on the edge of conservation land near the center of Lincoln, Birches affords close contact with nature. Our students spend time each week exploring the woods, and much of our innovative curriculum focuses on the natural world. Both inside and outside, children participate in intellectually dynamic, collaborative projects that foster creative thinking, team-building, and leadership. Confident in themselves, students take ownership of their own joyful learning.
