Pagan faith school / college

[DaughtersofFrya]

There are many faith schools, but no Pagan ones, and I'd be interested to hear some opinions on the subject. Would you like to have attended one, or would you consider sending your children to one in the future, for example?

Thanks that was very interesting

My primary concern is that there are approximately 4 children that are going to be enrolled into this school/home ed system. They won't be monitored officially for safeguarding (maintaining welfare is not just protecting from sexual abuse, females can abuse positions of authority too). How will any matters of discipline be dealt with? What policies will be in place to protect yourselves as well as the students?

What are the age range of students? Educating primary children has a different host of issues from educating teens. Their needs are vastly different and it's not clear how it will all be met adequately.

The curriculum is woolly to say the least, when these children leave your education facility at 16 or 18 how are they prepared for either further education or to gain employment?

I worry that these children are being done a disservice, with the potential to become affected, poorly educated, maladjusted adults in the future. There's also the possibility that they may flourish in such an environment. Everyone is as trustworthy as you believe, no behavioural issues come up and it's the best thing for all involved. But there is no way as a parent I would take that chance.

The curriculum is woolly to say the least

I don't think that's fair at all. If you look at their website the likely curriculum becomes pretty clear:

Monday- Hiking, followed by Aryan History.
Tuesday Lifting rocks, Nature ramble and marching in unison.
Wednesday- Training to overthrow democracy.
Thursday- Home economics in the morning and kneeling before the holy book in the afternoon.
Friday- P.E. Either netball or hunting, depending on whether it's tourist season.

Sounds like a cult on a commune

I was erring towards ‘troll’, but that reveal was worth waiting for! 😂

OP, you chose your username and shared information about your paganism so if the link people are mentioning is to your site, it seems strange not to just acknowledge and own it 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you truly stand by your belief system and objectives then I don't really get why people finding your site has caused you to run off.

Maybe she's busy doing some spring goddess stuff today ... happy Eostre's day.

Or maybe she's realised parents aren't going to be sending their kids to her whatever-it-is. Apart from anything else (!), outdoors school in little white tunics could only work for a couple of weeks a year.
