PROGRAMS

Our Learning Groups

At HART, children grow through a progression that honors where they are developmentally while giving them increasing ownership of their learning. The work deepens as they do—from exploring the world with their hands, to discovering their interests, to building toward their own goals and future.

The Sprouts | Ages 6–8

Exploration

The Sprouts are learning through doing, noticing, wondering, and trying. Their days are rooted in nature, art, movement, stories, hands-on work, conceptual math, reading, and the endless discoveries that happen when children are given space to explore.

Math might happen with stones, sticks, food, or something they build. Science begins with observing what is happening around them. Projects invite them to ask questions, solve problems, work together, and figure things out for themselves.

This is also a time for learning how to be part of a community, building relationships, caring for their space, taking responsibility for their belongings and choices, and beginning to understand that their participation matters.

The focus: curiosity, exploration, relationships, problem-solving, and learning through the hands and senses.

The Saplings | Ages 9–11

Discovery

The Saplings continue building a strong foundation in conceptual math, reading and reflection, and writing while beginning to take greater ownership of their individual academic paths. Children bring work from home, and small-group learning pods provide support in areas like math and language arts.

But this is where learning begins to open outward.

Through passion projects, clubs, group challenges, and collaborative projects, children get to try things on, to discover what interests them, what they're good at, what challenges them, and what they want to know more about.

They participate in real-world situations that require teamwork, communication, creativity, problem-solving, adaptability, and responsibility. They aren't simply learning about these skills; they're practicing them together.

The focus: discovery, growing independence, collaboration, personal interests, and learning how to take ownership.

The Redwoods | Ages 12+

Direction

The Redwoods step into a deeper level of independence and ownership. Academic work, group projects, mentorship, and hands-on learning continue, but students are given more freedom, more responsibility, and more room to direct their time and energy.

This is where we begin helping each young person look more intentionally toward their interests and future. They have time to explore passions, develop skills, work alongside mentors, and begin building a portfolio of meaningful work that reflects who they are and what they can do.

A project might become a business idea, a body of artwork, a research project, a garden, a film, a collection of writing, a skilled craft, or something we haven't imagined yet.

We help them move from “I'm interested in this” to “What can I do with this?”

The focus: independence, deeper exploration, meaningful work, mentorship, personal goals, and building a path forward.
