Welcome to Our Forest Family

“The best classroom has no walls.”

At Firefly Forest School, we believe that mud, leaves, and laughter are the best tools for learning. We were born from a simple wish: to give children a childhood filled with dirt, discovery, and freedom. Whether it is searching for bugs or building shelters, every day here is a new chapter in their story..

Three Ways to Experience the Forest

Whether you join us for a morning, a holiday week, or a full school year.

Playgroups

For ages 1 – 6 years

The perfect gentle start. Join us for a morning of sensory play, songs, and mud. No commitment required—just drop in and discover the magic.

The Forest School

Nursery to Grade 6

A curriculum that breathes. We combine academic rigor with the freedom of the forest, raising children who are resilient, curious, and kind.

Survivial Camps

Holiday, Summer+ Survival Camps

Ages 4 – 12 years

When school is out, the adventure begins. Our survival and creative camps are open to all children, offering a wild break from the classroom.

I didn’t want her sitting at a desk for hours

Since moving from the US, we wanted a gentle start. What we love most is the balance. The learning is real and structured, but it stays hands-on. Our daughter is building strong basics in reading and writing while exploring karate, film, and dance. I feel like a better dad because of this decision.

It all started with a summer camp… and my son was hooked.

We wanted to explore different schools, so we started with a camp. It was super fun—firemen, dump trucks, everything a boy could ask for. We discussed it as a family and decided to switch to Firefly full-time. The teachers shape the curriculum to his individual learning preferences while making it very fun.

Mom, I want to go to Firefly Forest School

That sentence reinforces that we chose the right place. We participated in playgroup 3 or 4 times, and now he is a full-time student. We didn’t think we would leave him at school this early (under 2 years old), but the school takes such good care of him that we are confident he is happy and safe.

Our home is 40 minutes away, but it is worth it

Every mother knows how difficult it is to find the right school. There are many schools with fancy facilities, but few that listen, understand, and learn about the nature of each child as carefully as Firefly. Thank you to the entire team for making me feel at ease that my child is in good hands.

Mimi is happy every day… so much so that she doesn’t want to go home. 


If parents are looking for a school that is like a family, I truly can recommend FireFly Forest School. The school lets children enjoy their childhood to the fullest while inserting with knowledge in a way that makes learning fun.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when it rains or gets too hot?

We embrace the rhythm of nature! For the heat, our forest canopy provides natural cooling, and we have fans and water play stations. For the rain, we put on our boots and splash! However, for heavy storms or PM2.5 days, we have safe, air-purified indoor spaces.

Will my child still learn “academics” without a classroom?

Absolutely. In fact, research shows they learn better. Math is learned through measuring and building; science is learned through gardening and ecosystems. Our students transition seamlessly into traditional schools because they have learned how to learn, not just how to memorize.

Do we need to speak English at home?

Not at all. We are a bilingual community (Thai & English). Your child will naturally absorb languages through songs, stories, and play with our diverse teachers and friends.

Is it safe with the bugs and dirt?

We believe a scraped knee teaches resilience! But we take safety seriously. Our area is enclosed, monitored, and treated naturally for mosquitoes. We have a high teacher-to-child ratio to ensure “risky play” is always safe play.
