Spire School

About this program

Spire School is an all-weather forest preschool located in San Francisco, California, operating from September through June. As part of Parks Plus Creation, the school provides a nature-immersed educational experience where children spend their days outdoors in all weather conditions, building meaningful connections to the land and its creatures. The program's philosophy centers on providing ample time and space for children to play and explore in nature, fostering both independence and environmental stewardship. With small class sizes and child-led, teacher-supported curriculum, Spire School emphasizes hands-on learning through outdoor exploration. The forest serves as the classroom, offering developmentally appropriate experiences that help children develop confidence, autonomy, and a strong foundation for future academic success.
