About this program
Village Forest School is a bilingual, Waldorf-inspired, nature-based school located in the heart of Piemonte, Italy. Founded in September 2020, the school operates on the belief that it truly takes a village to raise a child, creating a warm and nurturing environment in the beautiful Monferrato region. The school's philosophy centers on educating Head, Hands, and Heart—nurturing the whole child socially, academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Their goal is not to mold children into a specific shape, but to give them the tools, confidence, and resilience to grow into their authentic selves. Nestled in rural Italy at Via Pezzere 6, Montaldo di Cerrina, the school offers families an opportunity to embrace a slower-paced lifestyle connected to nature, community, and meaningful education. The environment is intentionally toxin-free, using natural building materials and minimizing EMF exposure.
