Nature's Schoolhouse, an elementary-age microschool, opened Oct. 12 in Cedar Park.

The nature-based school offers a full-time elementary school program and part-time homeschool enrichment programs, according to lead parent and administrator Nicole Tomayko. Students learn in a "mixed-age learning environment" and spend two to three hours outside daily in the 1-acre schoolyard.

Nature's Schoolhouse is located at 313 Brushy Creek Road, Cedar Park. Informational appointments can be scheduled online. www.naturesschoolhouse.com
