Fall Fun for the Whole Family! The Circle School hosts the most unique fall festival in San Antonio! There will be amazing food, great bands, kids activities, silent auction and our one-of-a-kind, candle-lit Pumpkin Path, where children will get to listen to folk tales from around the world! Located in the heart of the city, near The Witte Museum.

Donations will be acknowledged to the over 400 attendees at each event and on all of our social media platforms, including those that are shared by our past and current community members across San Antonio and all over the world. 

Funds raised at this event go towards the operation of the school. Our current fundraising goals include raising funds for a new specials building (art, music, yoga, gardening, pe, Spanish), enhancing our nature-based playground, building our gardening program to further eco-friendly and conservation works, and adding ADA accessible features to the historic school buildings.

The Circle School is a PreK-8th grade school founded in 1965 on a cooperative model of family-integrated education. We cultivate a community diverse in race, class, and culture. We have 97 full-time students and 115 summer camp program participants. The Circle School’s two mottos are “Peace Through Culture” and “A School as Unique as Your Child.” Both capture the essence of this unconventional private school co-op. We combine academic excellence with a distinctive curriculum oriented around several elements: 1) daily oral storytelling teaching folk wisdom lessons from cultures around the world; 2) nature-based education and care for the planet through conserving, gardening, composting, and recycling; 3) creative learning to develop self-expression through the arts; 4) yoga, meditation, and respectful conflict resolution practices to cultivate compassion and empathy. We emphasize integrative and individualized education focusing on the social, emotional, and psychological development of the whole child. In 2016, we were given international designation as an Ashoka Changemaker School, to recognize our efforts to cultivate young people with the skills and confidence to change the world for the good of all.
