Kerkus Forest School is an independent Forest School based in Dublin and is accredited by the Irish Forest School Association (IFSA). “We believe kids can benefit significantly from learning in the natural environment and provide a safe space for child-led play. Forest School is a fantastic foundation for learning that has a very positive influence on later academic achievements. Our weekly sessions and camps go ahead in all weathers, bar high winds and electrical storms, and require our little learners to be dressed appropriately for the conditions.”
