Our Network
Calyx Nature School is a learning community for ages 5 – 11 (and growing), supported by a dynamic group of individuals and families – parents, grandparents, educators, and children – working together to create a progressive alternative learning community on Whidbey Island.
​
Just as our forest finds balance through its web of connections, so Calyx deepens its programs through connecting with community partners, visiting artists, local experts, and local organizations. Calyx is nestled under the fiscal sponsorship of Service, Education & Adventure (SEA), a 501c3 not-for-profit that supports programs that inspire and empower participants to become agents of change in pursuit of a sustainable and just world.
​
Our breadth of connections include: Service, Education & Adventure (SEA), Washington State Parks, OASIS, South Whidbey Tilth, Orca Network, Langley Whale Center, Whidbey Audubon Society, Friends of Whidbey State Parks, South Whidbey Elementary School, Young Women Empowered, Whidbey Institute, and Whidbey Camono Land Trust.
​
Beneath the fragrant boughs of Cedar, Fir, Alder and Spruce, beside the salty lapping song of the Salish Sea, and under the benevolent gaze of the Olympic mountain range, Calyx weaves a deeply alive, developmentally appropriate, and connected community within which the wild imaginations, open hearts and bright minds of our students can flourish.
