SLL_edited.jpg

WELCOME

We are a secular homeschool community that values all cultures, political ilignements, genders and races equally. Our aim is to be curious and learn about oursevles and eachother. We aim to connect and become a village with open-minded individuals. Homeschooling alone is hard. Our center is about freedom and respect for children's autonomy in the learning process. There is no set commitment.  We homeschool because we want to be able to learn at individualized paces and participate at different levels. Humans/children learn best through play and self guided learning goals.  Our vibrant and inclusive educational community believes academic excellence, child freedom, and personal growth go hand in hand. Our experienced and dedicated guides strive to find their own interests and strengths and use them to assist children find theirs. Our programs use community resources and provide   completely free opportunities for all kids in the community to join us and explore. We are committed to creating an adventurous environment that is not afraid to take risks and trust children with freedom of choice.

I am doing my best to make a usable website, but I am not great with technology :). I am currently reading books by Jo Boaler to prepare for an unschooling math class. She has very interesting theories I am enjoying learning about

Testimonials

I've recently been looking into the concept of child-led learning and was so happy to come across Sonder Life.  We came to visit and felt so welcomed.  I love that they have parents supporting the program and such amazing class offerings.  My kids loved it.  They got into an argument with each other at the end, and Christel impressively jumped in to help them figure out a plan and talk through their feelings.  It is such a special community.
