Welcome to Airie

Creative Learning the Natural Way

Airie Forest School is Clarksville's first Reggio Emilia-inspired Forest School. Our mission is to empower children to joyfully explore a holistic education in all weather conditions. We strive to inspire a diverse community of learners to cultivate a deep and meaningful connection to the natural world while playfully engaging in the creative process of learning. We believe confident children become resilient citizens who creatively problem-solve and improve their world.

We are a community that cherishes nature, desires genuine connections, and celebrates the beautiful freedom of play.
