Our Mission
Gather Forest School and Community creates and facilitates child-centered, nature-based educational experiences rooted in Black culture and identity for Black families. We use the educational philosophies of Montessori & Waldorf to provide children 4-12 hands-on, nature-based education that fosters creativity and curiosity while learning 100% outdoors.
What is Gather?
Gather Forest School operates Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. We are a drop-off program for children 4-12 years old in Decatur, Georgia. We use the educational philosophies of Montessori and Waldorf to provide children with a hands-on, nature-based education.
​
Our Gather Forest School Community portion provides monthly events in nature around the Atlanta area for adults and children of all ages. In addition to our in-person offerings, we offer a virtual community for those looking to engage and meet up with other Black families in all things nature, sustainability, homeschooling, camping, and more!
