We're building an educational community, will you join?

PEAKS is a Waldorf-inspired, nature-based learning community for families seeking meaningful, experiential education beyond the traditional classroom. Through hands-on academics, outdoor exploration, community projects, and family-style learning, we support children in growing with curiosity, confidence, creativity, and purpose. We are secular, welcoming, and built for families who want to help shape a joyful educational community rooted in nature, connection, and real-world learning.

PEAKS families believe in co-creating accessible high quality opportunities and rigorous academics, emotional development, progress over perfection, that learning by doing and through direct experience is more impactful than long hours spent in a classroom, that kids learn better in low stress, natural environments. PEAKS accepts all religious beliefs and backgrounds, believes in the inherent goodness of humanity, that our life experiences show us the areas within ourselves that need development and attention, and in the value of and respect for all living creatures. PEAKS is here to fill a void in the Carson City area. For families that haven't yet found your educational community and co-op home, and the above resonates, we'd love to meet you.
