FOREST
SCHOOL

Education from Love
An alternative education to shape integral human beings
What is Forest School
At AMBI Comunidad, we as families have come together to promote our own educational project under a Homeschooling format.
We decided to de-school in order to learn how to educate through consciousness, reason, and deep respect for our being, in a natural environment.

At Bosquescuela AMBI, nature and physical space align in perfect harmony to facilitate learning processes.
‍
We firmly believe in the power of art and body movement to generate deep connections and subtle experiences. Therefore, we work in harmony with matter, energy, and vibration to achieve a harmonious development.

We are a community of families united by educational transformation. We educate from the roots, recognizing the family as the core where the human being, virtues, values, and coexistence flourish.
Our Philosophy
At Bosquescuela AMBI, we believe that nature is not just an environment, but our true classroom and our greatest teacher.
We understand the human being as an integral unit made up of spirit, soul, and body. Therefore, learning here is not an imposed obligation, but a natural process that springs from the soul and manifests through thought, word, and actions.

We educate in harmony with the rhythms of the earth, promoting autonomy, deep connection, and respect for everything that surrounds us. Knowledge is cultivated through curiosity, free play, and practical experience, guided by an integral vision where sensitivity and the expression of being are the axis of development.
For us, artistic expressions: wood carving, weaving, music, herbalism, and construction have the same value and relevance as mathematics, history, languages, and biology. Through this experiential learning, students acquire tools to solve situations by combining logic and intuition, which strengthens their confidence and independence to face the world, recognize their qualities, and discover what truly makes them happy.

00 Educational approach
As a community, we have had the opportunity to explore various pedagogical methods from which we have learned, both through experience and theoretical study.
We believe that, from our worldview, there is a significant contribution that gives us the strength to undertake this project with the intention of planting a new seed: a new pedagogy grounded and structured in ancestral wisdom, in the four elements of nature, and in the deep study of the human being across all their dimensions and inhabited spaces (body, clothing, home, and planet)—also known as «the four skins», which result in the definition of their identity.

Bosquescuela AMBI fosters students' character through example, art, love, and creation. We rely on the DBAs (Basic Learning Rights - Derechos Básicos de Aprendizaje) proposed by the Ministry of Education of Colombia and adopt them to enhance them through our own methodology.
01 Methodology
Our methodology transcends traditional teaching divided into isolated subjects. We integrate academic knowledge with experiential practice through two main learning axes: Block Lessons and Satellite Classes.
This approach allows every concept to navigate through the four elements and consciously inhabit the "four skins" of the human being, ensuring that knowledge is not merely memorized, but embodied for life.

At Bosquescuela AMBI, we do not isolate our students from the Colombian educational reality. We take the Basic Learning Rights (DBA - Derechos Básicos de Aprendizaje) established by the Ministry of Education of Colombia and enhance them: we translate them into lived experiences, so that every cognitive achievement is imbued with art, movement, ecological consciousness, and human value.
