Health and Safety
We believe that when children are free to move their body in new and natural settings, they develop the skills they need to be
To this end, we will not put a child in a place where they aren't able to be, on their own.

Health (as a school only)
We are required to keep records of current immunizations. All children who attend the Honoring our Path school would need to submit a copy of their immunization record or a copy of their exemption letter.

We believe in healthy, bodies and minds.

_______________
The Honor Our Path schools is open to all, we welcome everyone into our program. We do ask families to consider whether the school is a good fit for their child, so we recommend a trial period.
We do discriminate against race, color, religion, national origin, sex or disability.

Philosophy

Honoring Our Path Resource Center and Montessori Inspired Homeschool honors:

The child as an individual
The child as a capable learner
The child as an observer
The child as a planner
The child as self directed learner
The child as part of the community
The child as a spiritual being

We believe that when children are actively involved in their learning through experimentation and play and multi-disciplanary project based learning, they develop the skills and habits necessary to become lovers of learning. The children who attend Honoring Our Path will be actively involved in their community through guest lecturers, field trips, volunteer experiences and internships.
