Gaia sends the Wonder Kids two enchanting visitors who leave behind trails of creativity and musical notes that linger like whispers in the frosty air.

Puppetry creates a container in the forest in which care, kindness, and social interaction is encouraged.

At the School of Wonder, we strive to establish an environment in which Wonder Kids can become conscious global citizens who act in service to the environmental and social causes of our shared home.

“The future can be how we want it to be! We just have to build it!”

The theme of this recent Spring Break Camp, Guardians of the Community, brought the Wonder Kids on an adventure to explore the people and places in our neighborhood who care, protect and give personality to Brooklyn’s local culture. In the five mini fields trips throughout the week, here is what they discovered.

Our outdoor after school program takes place in the “Wonder Village” - a whimsical forest in Prospect Park where kids go on missions that lead them to play together and build relationships.

The design of all our work is based on the Wonder Compass — a learning framework composed of four main areas of knowledge: community, creativity, autonomy, and earth stewardship.

We have been creating and embarking on immersive adventures since 2017. Read about some of the past adventures on this blog.

This week at the School of Wonder we are celebrating that our Executive Director and Founder Marta Pascual Barea has been awarded with the GFEL prize for her role shaping the future of Education and Learning.

Autonomous children are not only a blessing for their parents! It’s also a key learning element for the children to build their self-confidence, find purpose and walk their own paths. The world needs children who rule the art of living and thinking with independence.

It’s time to take Wonder seriously! This is not about unicorns in a swimming pool, but rather about the inner ability to keep our curiosity alive and in service of finding the path towards what we hope.

Welcome to the blog of School of Wonder, where we present our “adventure-based learning” method to teach creativity and SEL skills

Forging a sustainable future for the planet requires creative minds. School of Wonder exists to help children remember the wonder in the simple forms of Nature and to equip them with the creative and social emotional tools that can transform their dreams into very real inventions and creative solutions.

Inspired to help Gaia, the mythical Mother Earth, the Wonder Kids embark on imaginative and real journeys throughout the most magical corners of Prospect Park, following maps and completing missions along the way.

Wonder Kids can explore the state of our environment through a lens of wonder and curiosity instead of fear.

The School of Wonder is developing a unique methodology combining experiential learning, story-telling and outdoor education. To create a unforgettable learning experience we follow these four steps.

Humanity is necessarily moving towards more evolved tasks and more flexible mindsets, led by the new possibilities of technology and global connection.
