The Garden School

This forest school is a gift to our children, our family and our community. They truly care about each and every student and helping them realize their full potential as a human being. The atmosphere at the school is consistently warm and caring and the teachers and administrators are enthusiastic and engaged. The Garden School is the embodiment of the Waldorf philosophy of "holding space for the child" as they learn. It's really a beautiful thing.

We had every intention of exclusively homeschooling our children because we truly felt that we could offer them more at home than they could receive in the public school system. Those plans quickly changed when we found The Garden. We now have a school that can give them more than we possibly could at home. We are so thankful to have the love, support and wisdom from the community at The Garden.

Our family has loved being a part of The Garden School community. Our daughter has flourished here and is excited to go to school every morning. The teachers and staff are wonderful. They value each student as an individual and educate them in love. It’s such a special place.

We love The Garden School of Marietta. This school is an amazing resource in our community and I can’t recommend it enough. My daughter has gained so much knowledge, confidence and creativity. I love that the students aren’t confined to desks all day but are allowed to use their hands and bodies for a more full learning experience. They also get to learn practical skills such as knitting, woodworking, foreign language and gardening and creative skills such as painting and music along with the basics. The teachers, administration & staff are all wonderful, knowledgeable and approachable and know and care for each student. An amazing school!

The Garden School is amazing! The staff is outstanding and our children are excited to go everyday! We've seen nothing but positive changes and growth from our 6 year old son and 3 year old daughter, even the relationship between the two of them has changed for the better. We highly recommend The Garden School, it's been a completely positive experience and an incredible way to learn and grow.
