Our Mission
The Willow Tree Community has been built to create a safe, warm and loving network for families who crave a progressive and alternative learning life. No two children learn the same and we see them. Our hope is to create engaging, purposeful and holistic learning experiences and enrichment opportunities for all children. Whether they are home educating or flexi-schooling, Willow Tree welcomes any and all families to embrace the loving environment which we provide.
​
We have found that many families whose child does not learn best within mainstream education, often have difficulty finding alternative educational experiences for their children. Some parents even express that they feel limited from their own education and are looking for support in their home educating journey.
​
This is where Willow Tree comes in. We will never turn a child away and will always work with the families to explore how their child can access truly free education. Every child deserves to shine their brightest and most importantly have fun too!
