Our homeschool programs create an environment where children are nurtured and their natural curiosity is celebrated. Learning becomes a journey of discovery, facilitated by the freedom to explore.
As mentors, we bring an attentive eye and a keen sense to understand each child’s unique needs, recognizing the diverse ways they express and engage with the world around them. Our approach is tailored to inspire, challenge, and support homeschool families, fostering a love for learning that extends far beyond traditional boundaries.
Educated by Nature’s homeschool programs have been designed by qualified teachers and nature-connection specialists. They are the perfect addition to a homeschool curriculum, facilitating community, learning and growth for participants.
Bush Inventors’ Club is now KIN Homeschool.
“Everything that the Educated by Nature team does with the kids is for a reason. Of course they just play, but every activity has a purpose, an educational purpose, an emotional intelligence purpose, a brain-stretching purpose. I knew that having this activity in his week would help my son work his way through. I wasn’t wrong, he comes home stinking of bonfires and smiling from ear to ear. He’s usually carrying something he’s made – anything he likes. He gets time to be himself, with no judgement and a huge amount of love and encouragement. Daniel and his team have provided the outlet and the gentle guidance along the way so that they have the opportunity in their day to be children, be brave and be happy in their skins.” – Hattie, Mother
KIN Homeschool
This group meets for four hours every week in Crawley, over an eight-week term. This program, previously known as Bush Inventors’ Club, has been re-vamped to better suit the needs of the homeschool community.
KIN Homeschool is inspired by the work of Gever Tulley and the Institute of Applied Tinkering, shaped by the work of Jon Young and the 8 Shields Institute, and seeks to develop children’s self-risk assessing skills. Our Nature Educators encourage and allow risk taking, with support in identifying hazards and understanding body awareness.

Other Homeschool Programs
Incursions
In between KIN Homeschool terms, we sometimes run one-off Incursion sessions. Our Incursions are a great way to stay involved with the KIN Homeschool community and try out some new skills. They are also a perfect ‘taster’ opportunity for new families! All public incursions are avaliable for booking above.
If you would like to organise a private Incursion session for your homeschool group, you can find out more and make an inquiry on the Incursions page.
KIN Village
During the school holidays, many homeschool families choose to attend our KIN Village program. These are full-day sessions that run in Guildford and Crawley! The theme is different each holidays, so be sure to get more information on the KIN Village page.
