Wow so many different starting ages! Ds is the same as you PN, Aug 2010 so starting in 2016. We also would have loved the small private one but with three kids it was out of our price range. We found a public school which runs similar models of learning has chickens, veggie patches and lots of open space. Dd1 is there and loves it. The kids do a subject called investigative learning and get to focus on subjects they love and do research and build projects. When we moved three years ago we intentionally thought about the schools in the area that the kids could go to.
