Pioneer School is an adventure that gives your group the chance to experience an 1880s school day. The day includes learning lessons using slates and a curriculum that we provide online (see link below), and our Frontier 101 program (included in the Pioneer School fee). You can lunch in the adjacent park! Students and teachers are given sample clothing and lunch suggestions in the curriculum.

Please note: although we provide the curriculum online, we do not supply the teacher. Please make sure that one of your sponsors is comfortable leading the school day.
