Students are not machines to be programmed:

  • Hands-on learning develops the mind and body better than sitting and processing facts on a screen or in a book.

  • Student’s should take responsibility for their learning and develop independence rather than relying on school or parents to do it for them.

  • “Educational” shows, games, and AI tools are distracting and conforming your child’s mind.

  • We need movement, sunlight, fresh air (and fun!) for healthy bodies and spirits.


Bring your student’s education to life through
Arkansloyd handicraft classes!

Bring Back Handicraft.

Sloyd is a Swedish word for handicraft, where the end goal is the development of the student themselves, not just a wood working project.

Through woodcarving and other handicrafts, students learn the value of hard work while developing independence and responsibility.
