About us


Discovery Circle is a self-directed, play-based educational community that empowers children and teens to take charge of their own learning journeys. Rooted in neuro-affirming principles, we provide a low-demand, adaptable, and nurturing educational environment that embraces individuality. By fostering autonomy and creativity, we aim to create a space where every learner feels respected and valued.

Mission statement

Core values

Flexibility & Autonomy

We believe that learning thrives in a relaxed, adaptable setting. By allowing children to take the lead in their education, we foster self-direction and personal growth in a way that feels natural and empowering.

Safety & Support

A child’s emotional well-being is just as important as their education. We provide a nurturing, emotionally safe space where learners feel secure, understood, and free to express themselves.

Creativity & Innovation

Learning should be an adventure. We encourage curiosity, exploration, and out-of-the-box thinking, encouraging kids to discover new ideas, embrace challenges, and reimagine what education can be.

Collaboration & Connection

Community is at the heart of Discovery Circle. We cultivate meaningful relationships through a collaborative, friendly environment, where learners and facilitators engage as equals and uplift one another’s journeys.

Inclusivity & Belonging

Discovery Circle is a place where everyone is welcome. We honor self-governance, mutual respect, and individuality, providing an environment where learners feel accepted and free to be themselves.
