Historical Note

The School of Natural Learning was an experimental educational experience for students ages 5-17, run by Kayo Robertson and Paula Watkins from 1991-2001 in Cache Valley, Utah. This alternative school was a non-profit private learning community focused on a more environmental approach to education, featuring classes such as pottery, art, and Spanish as well as learning from nature and the surrounding environment.
