Nature-Based

Nature-based programs center learning around the outdoors, using forests, parks, and natural spaces as living classrooms. Rooted in traditions like European forest schools and the environmental education movement, these programs teach core subjects through hands-on exploration, observation, and play in nature. Research shows that time outside can improve focus, reduce stress, and spark deeper curiosity in children, while building physical health and emotional well-being. On Modulo, families can discover nature-based resources and tutors who weave academics with activities like nature walks, ecology projects, wilderness skills, and creative storytelling inspired by the natural world. Parents can filter these programs by subject, age, and needs like giftedness, ADHD, or sensory sensitivities, helping each child thrive through learning connected to the outdoors.
