At Piedmont Forest School, children of all abilities and backgrounds learn together through creative, child-led play in nature.
Programs are offered year-round, rain or shine, for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, K-8 homeschoolers, K-8 after schoolers, and summer campers!
We accept the ESA+ Scholarship. Who can apply, and what does the ESA+ Scholarship pay for? These funds are awarded to children with disabilities who have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). The ESA+ Scholarship can help pay for program fees or tuition for educational programs and services, as well as for other services such as Speech and Occupational Therapy. The priority application period usually closes in early March; however, you can apply after this date and families are awarded scholarships until the program funding is exhausted. The base level of funding is a $9,000 annual award. Learn more here: NC Education Student Accounts (ESA+).
