Sundial Classical Farmstead (SCF) currently offers the following programs and is located at Woldumar Nature Center in Southwest Lansing, Michigan.
Liberal Arts & Sciences
This program is for home-schooling families seeking supplemental instruction for their children ages 5-10 for 2023-2024. It operates Monday-Thursday and follows the principles of Charlotte Mason, a 19th through early 20th century English education reformer, who believed children learn best when their days are focused on a few key elements: good literature, lots of time outside, and exploring the arts in order to experience beauty, goodness, and truth in tangible ways.
Fine Arts & Trades
This program brings together local experts and students in highly experiential demonstration and application sessions. Our students learn by practicing the Practical Arts along with Fine & Performing Arts, that is: life skills, drama, music, drawing / painting, sculpture, hobbies, leisure sports, and skilled trades like agriculture, woodworking, architecture, stonemasonry, tailoring / weaving, metalworking, electronics, navigation, and cooking to name a few.
