Wildhaven has moved!
We offer a flexible Monday through Friday learning network for homeschool registered children. Our home base is centrally located beside the Rainbow Recreation Centre and our mobile offerings take place at SIMS, the library, and many other satellite stations throughout Shiya’hwt-Ganges.
2026-27 Offering
Core Program
Location: Wildhaven Studio, 262 Rainbow Road
Days: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Hours: 9:30am - 3:00pm
Ages: 6+
The Setting:
In our own devoted space at the pool-side portable we will be curating a rich Maker Studio atmosphere for project work and theme study.
Alongside the Studio we keep our “sea can of wonders” — an open-ended tickle trunk full of materials to support the flow of child-directed inspiration.
We love rising to meet the emergent needs and possibilities that come with authentic exploration and Deep Work. Whether that is a walk through the forest to our research station (the public library), or a cooking session at the SIMS Home Ec room, a coyote mentoring nature session in Mouat’s Park, or collaboration with local organizations in town, we dearly prize the flexibility that makes Wildhaven nimble, agile, and responsive to our students’ curiosity.
Our mixed-age cohort can easily split into groups according to interest or capacity, expanding out into our outdoor classroom / play yard. We are also blessed to have the field for soccer and games, and the seven acres of forest and gardens surrounding us.
Description:
Each month we will engage the kids in deep project work on a particular open-ended Theme Study. Some of the units we have on hand:
Invention lab: Gadgets & Engineering
Myth weavers, story-catching
Mapping Shiya’hwt: knowing our Place
Game-schooling through boardgames, card games, role play, game design
The sugar-free apothecary: health and cooking lab
Passport to the World

Additionally, your wild guides will be mentoring in the arts, democracy, Spanish, music, science, socials, spelling, nature literacy, and life math. To name a few! The hidden curriculum is joy, belonging, confidence, compassion, curiosity, and communication skills across many creative mediums.
As ever, we offer the flexibility of 1, 2, or 3 days/week. Full-time 3 day attendance provides the most continuity for projects, themes, and depth of learning.
Uniquely, at Wildhaven we welcome attachment and parent involvement as a valuable aspect of our learning community.
