A unique school that is like no other. Immersing children in nature within a highly academic yet loving environment, Golestan is the whole package!

Setting New Standards in Education

The mission of Golestan Education is to support the development of curious, creative, and altruistic children through experiential and transdisciplinary learning. Golestan Education fulfills its mission through the following offerings:

Our preschool and elementary school give children a deep understanding and respect for the world they live in, through a fully integrated, experiential based approach to teaching.  The child’s entire experience is guided by inquiry and a rich and comprehensive curriculum.

The Golestan Colab empowers and supports educators, parents, and communities to create their ideal learning environment for children by offering pro-bono consultancy and resources in the following areas: 1) the integration and application of hands-on and experiential learning practices and approaches, and 2) language immersion and cultural education.
