Ecole Claire Fontaine is an Art, Language and Nature school for ages 2 through 6+ where children’s happiness is paramount. Flourishing since 1989 on verdant garden campuses near the Pacific Ocean, students are creatively and individually encouraged to honor their individual voices. Opportunities abound for character to form while discovering the benefit and value of communication, cooperation and co-creation in a joyful environment. Prepared daily with farmers market produce, organic meals foster healthy growth. French, English & Spanish are spoken, deepening cultural awareness & neurological capacities. Climate change and stewardship of the earth are part of daily learning. With enthusiasm & passion, ECF blends the positive values of American & French cultures. Nurturing & unmuting the innate wisdom of children is the ECF ethos. Living in art & nature, ECF infuses a creative spirit into an emergent curriculum that morphs annually with the interests of the children.
