Happy Hens Farm & Forest School operates in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, serving students from Kindergarten through fifth grade. The program utilizes a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach within an off-grid yurt classroom situated on an 11-acre working poultry and dairy goat farm. Students engage in mixed-age cohorts (K-2 and 3-5) that integrate rigorous academics with hands-on activities such as animal care, gardening, cooking, archery, and rock climbing to foster a comprehensive educational experience.
