Our Mission
Parry Sound Forest School strives to provide a child-centred, inquiry-based experience where our learners can develop greater:
resilience,
perseverance,
confidence,
communication and social skills,
the ability to navigate risk safely,
and to form personal connections to many facets of the Georgian Bay Biosphere.
Through this personal connection with nature, we strive to foster an ethic of care towards our local environment and ultimately towards living a more ecologically sustainable life.
Tuition Assistance Fund
The Tuition Assistance Fund is a project in partnership with Small Change Fund and eligible donations will receive a tax receipt from Small Change Fund.
