About Us

We live in the age of Google. We need to shift from learning to know to learning to be. Kids are naturally curious and born geniuses. Our job as guides and coaches is to get out of the way and allow learners to fail, try again, and fail some more. This is where true mastery is formed.

We believe kids learn best outdoors. We want children to be exposed to a variety of interests and when they discover their passion early, the drive follows. Children are like seeds, give them the right conditions and they will grow into who they are meant to become.

What if you could learn double in half the time? Are we wasting time in traditional education models studying and teaching to a standardized test? What if educational coaches had the bandwidth to actually attune and challenge the individual because we are able to outsource to AI generated software that tracks effort and growth mindsets?

Boys are being overly medicated for being high energy and put into environments that expect them to shrink. We want a container that is big enough for our kids to thrive, not just survive. If your child is struggling, maybe your child is not the problem, but the problem is in the environment. "If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing it's stupid." -Einstein

Resilience comes from self-awareness and learning how emotions function. Most of us are not taught this and are still playing catch up as adults.  Emotional health is one of the key building blocks to relational success. Our learners are not punished for feeling difficult emotions but taught to ride the wave and harness the big feelings to deeper truths and endurance.

We see the value in team sports, competition and the drive it produces in all areas of life. Our boys at Wilmington Outdoor Microschool want to be pushed and challenged. We provide ample time in the day for athletes to become top tier in their sport with our 2 hour learning model. The crossover from teammate to classmate doubles down on results that will last a lifetime.
