Joining Little Earth Iowa

Dear Prospective Families,

Welcome!

We are so honored you are considering Little Earth Iowa and transformative education for your family.

Please take the time to browse this website and get familiar with our ethos and approach.

The scope of our admission process is to make sure families are completely comfortable and aware of how Little Earth learning works and the many benefits that come with it.

Transformative Education is more than a way of learning, it is a way of looking at life,

and although we believe that Little Earth Iowa is right for every child, we realize it may not suit every family.

If you are interested in joining Little Earth Iowa for the school year 2024-2025, we recommend you start by filling out our application below.

We will then be in touch with you to schedule a phone call and a meeting.

A few words about our Admission process

We think that applying to a school should not be a stressful or discriminating endeavor. Applications are reviewed as they come in and we strive to make this process as transparent, honest and straightforward as possible.

Our application process aims at making sure you are clear on what to expect from your child's experience at Little Earth. If it sounds like a good fit for you and your family and we have room, you are in.  We don't believe in collecting all the applications, letting you hanging for a while, to then select those families whom we think would be best for our school, discarding the others.

So our suggestion, if you are interested in Little Earth, is to start your application process as soon as possible. Timing is the only variable, not your family, your income nor your personal beliefs. We know that if you are considering Forest Schooling you are probably very cool already :-)

Non-Discrimination Policy

Little Earth does not discriminate on the basis of any individual or group identity characteristics, such as but not limited to race, color, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, national or ethnic origin, differing mental or physical abilities, or family structure in the administration of its educational or admissions policies, employment practices, and other school-administered programs.

We look forward to meeting you and getting to know your family.
