Magic Forest Academy
2nd-^th Grades
Magic Forest Academy is a secular, nature-based homeschool curriculum that ties science, language arts, art, and practical skills to themed units centered on the natural world. Each unit invites children to explore topics like fungi, birds, or weather through hands-on projects, readings, and simple experiments. Created by a homeschool parent who wanted a gentle, Waldorf-friendly approach without religious content, it has become popular among nature-loving families. Parents like the mix of structure and flexibility—each module is self-contained and easy to adapt for multiple ages. It’s best for elementary learners who thrive outdoors and enjoy crafts, stories, and observation journals. Families seeking rigorous, textbook-style science may want to pair it with more formal resources, but as a spine for interest-led nature study it offers strong value. To stretch your purchase, revisit units seasonally and layer in local field guides and nature walks.
Also great nature-based curriculum for upper elementary. Child archetype: Hands-on learners who love nature and the outdoors.
Not a fit for: Kids who prefer workbooks and more structured activities, families looking for a more traditional, open and go approach.
