About Us

Learning Through Nature, Play, and Community.

Our Mission

Taht Zaytouna designs and delivers nature-based, experiential learning programs that integrate education with real life.

We work through forest programs, school partnerships, and community initiatives using our own holistic curriculum.

Together with families, educators, and schools, we build learning environments that support children’s development and strengthen connection to nature and community.

Our Vision

A world where education is a living journey, rooted in nature, guided by curiosity, and grounded in community. Where children grow into conscious, responsible human beings, supported by their ecosystem to reach their full potential, and where this connected way of learning becomes a recognized and accessible path for families and communities.

Our Approach

Our approach is research based and aligned with international forest school pedagogy, adapted to the Lebanese context through a locally developed holistic education model.

Learning is experiential and interdisciplinary. Science, mathematics, and languages are embedded into real world exploration, play, and hands on discovery.

We focus on holistic development through what we call science, self, and society, supporting cognitive, emotional, physical, and social growth in an integrated way.

Arabic, English, and French are introduced naturally through daily interaction and meaningful experiences.

With a low student to educator ratio, we provide personalized guidance for each child within a structured, intentional learning environment. Our model is trusted and implemented in collaboration with educational partners and schools.
