New Homeschool Resource For Tennesseans Who Don't Want Faith Based Program
The Farm School Vision
The Farm School is an educational resource center and hub of activity making the knowledge and physical resources of The Farm available to an international community of lifelong learners of all ages.

The Farm School Mission
The Farm School seeks to support diverse individuals actualizing our unique potentials as we work and play toward personal, community and planetary wellbeing.

The Farm School Educational Philosophy
At The Farm School students learn as they apply basic skills and content to real-world problems with a focus on peace, equality and sustainability. We use responsive curriculum to connect what our students learn to their and our community's needs, interests, experiences and values.

The Farm School Services
The Farm School is a community school, an umbrella for off-Farm home-based learners (Farm School at Home) and a homeschool resource center.

The Farm School at Home
We are very excited to be able to offer an alternative for homeschool families that, for whatever reason, are not comfortable registering with their Local Educational Agency (LEA) or with a denominational Church Related School (CRS). We require no statement of faith and are not interested in mandating curriculum or any other decisions. We believe in responsive education matched to the needs, interests and experiences of individual children. And we believe that the adults best able to negotiate curriculum with children are the adults spending time with those children on a daily basis.
