Natural Creativity began as a small, self-directed learning space created by three founders—Peter Bergson, Diane Cornman-Levy, and Christopher Steinmeier—who believed young people deserve more freedom, trust, and agency in their education. What started as a space primarily serving homeschoolers has grown into something much larger.

Today, Natural Creativity is a community-based learning hub in Germantown, Philadelphia, serving young people ages 4–18 through self-directed programs, camps, and community events. Our work is rooted in the belief that young people learn best when they are supported in following their interests, building relationships, and engaging in meaningful, real-world experiences.

Over time, we have expanded to serve a broader and more diverse community of families seeking alternatives to traditional schooling—including those looking for flexible, relationship-centered, and neurodivergent-affirming environments.

As we continue to grow in Germantown, we remain grounded in our original vision: creating a space where young people are trusted, supported, and able to grow into themselves within a connected and caring community.
