Redwood Adventist Academy in Santa Rosa, CA is a private Seventh-day Adventist school that provides a Christian educational system for students. What sets Redwood apart is their belief, supported by research, that children learn best when engaged, physically active, and in a natural environment. Located on 22 beautiful and functional acres bordering Mark West Creek, Redwood offers a unique blend of experiential, outdoor, and standards-grounded learning along with indoor instruction, projects, and technology-based study.

Their Forest Kindergarten program benefits students by incorporating both classroom time and time spent in nature. Studies have shown that Forest Kindergarten students are more resilient, show improvements in confidence, social skills, language and communication, and engage in more imaginative play. Additionally, Redwood's elementary students also experience outdoor learning through weekly activities in a variety of outdoor contexts, including natural areas along the creek and at What's Up Farm, an eight-acre organic farm and garden integrated on the campus.

These outdoor learning opportunities align with current research and improve students' intrinsic motivation, competence, and overall well-being. To learn more about Redwood Adventist Academy and the benefits of their unique approach to education, schedule a free consultation with their principal
