About
The Nature Bus School is a small, nature-based educational program where lessons come alive through real exploration, guided inquiry, and hands-on experiences that connect core academics with the world around them. The program serves just 16 children in Pre-K through 1st Grade and is described as a school for families who believe childhood should be rich, meaningful, and memorable. Learning happens outside and throughout the community.
• Ages: 4–7 years old
The Nature Bus School is designed to grow with families by adding one grade level each year, allowing children to remain in a consistent learning environment. Its mission is to be a vehicle for transformative, shared nature experiences and to nurture people’s affinity for the natural world. Alaurah serves as the Program Administrator and Educator. The organization also offers nature tours for 10–16 people as half day, full day, and two day tours, with public group tours departing from a variety of places in Charlottesville, Virginia and from REI in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
