Our Wilderness Program – with Becca Hall of Frog Hollow School

Becca Hall was homeschooled/unschooled for seven years, including all of high school. When she was eighteen, she attended Stanford University, where she graduated with Interdisciplinary Honors in English. She received her Masters in Environmental Writing from the University of Montana. She is now a poet and a novelist. Before starting Frog Hollow in January 2011, she had taught poetry in elementary school classrooms, tutored high school English, and taught college composition.

The elementary age curriculum integrates arts, music, social studies, mythology, and ecology into a solid core of language arts. Through a mix of writing, art projects, stories, singing, creative play, and outdoor exploration, students receive a firm foundation in creative writing, rhetoric, grammar, spelling, and literature. As they explore written language from many angles, they develop their own sense of themselves as writers. Part of each day is also spent at the park playing and exploring nature.
