Juniper Hill School for Place-Based Education, in Alna, Maine, is the first of its kind - a school that connects children to themselves, to each other, and to their communities through studying both natural and human environments.  The outdoors serves as our primary classroom and a springboard for a curriculum that synthesizes the best of 20th century progressive education with a 21st century place-based approach.

We serve ages four to seven in the current school year and will be a pre-K through grade 6 school by 2016.
