Welcome to
Campus da Terra
Campus da Terra is a project by Associação Aprendizes da Terra. It is a unique outdoor homeschooling hub, piloting right here on the island of Madeira. Designed for homeschooling or worldschooling families and children of primary school age, it combines the best of both guided curriculum support and child-led exploration. Our approach allows children to shape their own educational journey while benefiting from a supportive community of peers and facilitators.
Through hands-on learning experiences and outdoor activities, we nurture curiosity, creativity, and a deep connection with nature. Our goal is to cultivate critical thinking, collaboration, and a profound sense of care for the planet.
