Juniper Hill School, in Alna, Maine, is one of 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 and local community serves as the primary classroom and a springboard for a curriculum that synthesizes the best of 20th century progressive education, with a 21st century place-based approach. Utilizing integrated curriculum, immersion in the natural world, and social understanding through community studies, Juniper Hill School strives to create happier, healthier, and smarter children, who are becoming masters of their own learning and actively helping to make their community—and the world—a better place.
Juniper Hill School is a nature-based, place-based, pre- and elementary school, founded by director Anne Stires in 2011, and currently serving nearly fifty students, ages 3-10 year olds (preK-4th grade). The school has added a grade each year, with plans to culminate in a preK-8th grade (ages 3-14) school.
