FAQ
Where are you located?
4901 Bourine St., Fort Worth, Texas 76107
What grades do you serve?
Traditionally speaking, we serve grades kinder-5th, however please see the FAQ “What are age bands” to learn more about how we structure our groups.
What are age bands?
Heritage Nature School learners operate in mixed-age learning groups, called “age bands.” We typically group learners in 5-7Y, 8-10Y groups. Mixed-age bands allows children to learn at their own pace and go beyond traditional learning expectations within grade levels.
Are all of your teachers certified?
Though we do have certified teachers on staff, we do not strictly require certification for our teaching staff. We place a high value on experience and a genuine interest in alternative education methods.
Do you serve students with special needs?
HNS strives to provide children with an education that meets their needs. Therefore, it is important to note that we are not currently staffed or equipped to provide special services for students with severe learning disabilities, cognitive disabilities, emotional issues, or behavior issues that manifest in violent or angry outbursts. We do not currently have the resources necessary to help them to reach their full potential.
Do parents have to be involved in day-to-day learning?
Yes. We are not a full time program. Our program is designed for homeschoolers.
Do you offer part-time and full-time options?
We offer a part-time program only.
