Brendan Sloan Clarke
Watershed Schoohouse
in business since 2024
Watershed Schoolhouse in Chico was inspired by a gap Brendan saw in the standard school curriculum. Place-based education, community-building, personal development and rites of passage were almost entirely absent. Watershed Schoolhouse aims to bridge this gap, while also covering the basics of standard curriculum.
Watershed gives room for creativity and the ability to respond to educational opportunities that arise in the moment. Brendan also gets to spend a lot of time with his son, who is enrolled in the school.
