The World School
The World School is a new type of school. We have combined the principles of forest schools, democratic schools, self-directed education, and respectful parenting to create a new type of learning community for traveling families. -Tuition starts at $300/month - housing and transportation are not included. Each session is in a different locations. Families travel together.
The Sensory Place
The Sensory Space By MEC Disabilities was created in 2023 by MEC Disabilities a national nonprofit based in Grants Pass, OR. As a group of parents we wanted to create a safe and engaging indoor sensory play area for children of different abilities in our local area. So, we decided to create a FREE space in our Southern Oregon Community. Where every family is welcome, kids are free to be kids, and all the parents/families/guardians are supposed to do is spend time and have fun with the children. We offer a variety of sensory activities for children of all ages and abilities.

Trail Life
Trail Life USA is a Church-Based, Christ-Centered, Boy-Focused mentoring and discipleship journey that speaks to the heart of a boy. Established on timeless values derived from the Bible and set in the context of outdoor adventure, boys from Kindergarten through 12th grade are engaged in a Troop setting by male mentors where they are challenged to grow in character, understand their purpose, serve their community, and develop practical leadership skills to carry out the mission for which they were created.
The Valley School of Southern Oregon
The Valley School Approaches to teaching and learning are inspired by and build on Montessori principles of education. Students engage in experiential, hands-on projects and activities that are practical, relevant and connected in the community and to the natural world.
Toastmasters
Practice the skills you need to communicate with confidence and excellence. It all starts with a fun club environment where you will learn and practice together—to grow individually. Toastmasters have weekly meet-ups in nearly all communities in Oregon to help one another develop the “elevator pitch” and develop the skills necessary to communicate your vision to the world.
