A Self-Directed Learning Community in Philadelphia

Homeschooling day program (5-18 years old, 9am-3pm, Sept-June)

+ summer camp, workshops, and community events.

We're not recreating school.

We're co-creating education and childhood.

Through creativity, compassion, and collaboration, we bring young people to the forefront of their stories.

NC's Anti-Racism Definition and Commitment

NC defines anti-racism as a lifelong commitment to actively identifying, challenging, and changing the values, structures, and behaviors that perpetuate racism. It involves not only recognizing and opposing racist attitudes and practices but also actively promoting racial equity and justice. Anti-racism requires continuous self-reflection, learning, and unlearning, as well as a commitment to societal change that addresses the root causes of inequality and discrimination. It emphasizes the importance of creating an inclusive and equitable community where all individuals are valued and respected, regardless of their race or ethnic background. Learn more about how we apply antiracist and anti-oppressive practices in our program.

Our Nonnegotiables (overarching agreements in our space):

  1. At Natural Creativity, we take care of each other, our community, and our shared space. 

  2. No discrimination.

  3. When we cause harm, we seek to repair.

  4. Where there is hurt, we seek to heal. 

Natural Creativity opened its doors in January 2016. Since then, we have partnered with over 150 families on their self-directed education journey.
