Tallgrass Sudbury School will start our year outdoors, using the yard attached to our school as well as other nearby outdoor spaces, such as parks, the forest preserve, and the outdoor portions of the Brookfield Zoo. Our indoor space will be accessible for restrooms, water, first aid, and other necessities. On days with truly inclement weather, we will move to remote learning for the day.

We’ve chosen this plan to maximize safety while also acknowledging the strong need of kids and teenagers to be together in person. Our program will follow all state safety guidelines surrounding the COVID-19 crisis. Masks will not be required while outdoors, but will be required during any time spent indoors, and the school reserves the right to require masks outdoors if social distancing is not possible or in other specific situations.

Rediscover joy with us this fall, and enjoy the gorgeous Riverside area and our community-based, self-directed approach. Contact us for more details and to enroll for this month-to-month opportunity, available to students ages 5-18. Email info@tallgrasssudbury.org or text us at
