Contribute to Community

How can you contribute to the Ultimate Life Project?

Life Project Education began as a backyard holistic homeschool community of 5 families, 8 children under 8, and 1 teacher. Our collective intention was to explore “a new way” of nurturing and educating children in alignment with our values and visions.

Run by Alys Robinson out of a 2-bedroom, 1 bathroom rental property in Manuel Antonio, our founder’s vision quickly demanded more space to grow the unique non-traditional model.

Answering the community’s call to expand the vision, in full trust of a soul mission guided by the children, and with her family support, Alys became the steward of a 16-bedroom, 16-bathroom Ojochal guest house in 2019.

From day one, the children, families, and teachers of Life Project Education have co-created the path forward.

Students have the opportunity to focus on what truly matters TO THEM

With a commitment to community development, earth guardianship, and global citizenship, our children are active participants in envisioning & designing their learning environment in harmony with nature and in alignment with their creativities and curiosities. They have envisioned and manifested their greenhouse, chicken coop, pig pen, geodesic dome play structures, gardens, trails, fire circle, meditation spaces… and so much more! Their ideas and creativities and committed hands have created our community.

In just 8 years, we have grown from 8 children ages 5-8 years old, to 80 children ages 2.5-15 years old!

As our community grows, and as our oldest children approach adolescence, we seek to create continuity and longevity of our successful alternative learning model by expanding our elementary infrastructure to include space to accommodate our maturing children.

In the spirit of Life Project Education’s commitment to co-creation, our adolescents themselves have been the core visionaries, apprentices, consultants, and designers of their dream learning landscape.

Having fun at school makes learning easier

The children have had opportunities all along the way to contribute to their community.

Our students LOVE getting the opportunity to co-create their school!

While our ambitious 10-year masterplan seeks to ultimately accommodate Preschool-High School, our immediate vision and “Phase One” plans include expansion of our physical infrastructure to accommodate 32 Middle & High School children ages 12-15 by February, 2024. 

With the land purchased & prepared, masterplans complete, our first structural designs prepared for permitting, the teaching team assembled, program development underway, we have only funding to accomplish!
