HUMAN BY NATUREMove.Grow.Live Well.
A different kind of school day
Less sitting still.
More coming alive.
Children are built to move, explore, make things, ask questions, and belong. The LiveWild vision designs the day around those needs.
A learner can understand fractions in the morning, use them while cooking lunch, and explain what they learned afterward. Books, paper, conversation, outdoor observation, and thoughtful technology each have a purpose.
Our aim is simple: capable, curious people who think clearly, take responsibility, and create things that matter.

Good questions.
Clear answers.
Is the school open yet?
LiveWild is a planned school in Soquel, California. A fifth-grade homeschool pilot is the starting point. Opening dates, tuition, capacity, and future grades have not been announced.
Is the school day only two hours?
No. Two hours is the target for the core academic block, including movement breaks. The rest of the proposed day continues learning through projects, farm work, cooking, arts, and sport.
Is this a screen-based school?
Books, paper calculations, drawing, conversation, movement, and outdoor observation remain part of the plan. Technology has a purpose, and independent checks use no hints or AI.
