About Fogo

Discovering the world at each child’s pace.

Fogo puts each child at the heart of their learning. Exploring the natural environment, following their initiative and making time for discovery are central to the experience.

Relationships between children and adults matter: the aim is to build confidence, independence and respect for childhood.

Food: Vegetarian and macrobiotic food.

Everyday discoveries

What does a day at Fogo feel like?

Playing, exploring and being together are all part of learning. Experiences follow the children’s discoveries and pace, rather than a rigid activity timetable.
