FOR FAMILIES
Learning for a lifetime.
Built around what matters.
Faith • Family • Curiosity • Character
Stone & Arrow is creating a learning world where stories become doorways to discovery—and families can learn, explore, make and grow together. From a baby’s first lullaby to a young adult’s independent research, our vision is to nurture curiosity while developing the knowledge, skills, character and wisdom young people will carry into the world.
THE STORY IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
Adventure is baked into every story.
The WayMaker Saga invites families into a twenty-book adventure spanning 300 years of history. But we don’t separate the story from the learning. The adventure creates the curiosity. A forge can open a door into science and craftsmanship. A compass can lead to magnetism, navigation and geography. A shipwreck can become a study of weather, oceans and survival. A garden can lead to biology, food and natural medicine. A family Bible can open history, genealogy, faith and the question of what we carry forward.
One story can lead almost anywhere—if a child is curious enough to follow it.
MORE THAN READING
Around the stories, Stone & Arrow is developing learning journals, activity kits, hands-on projects, music, film, crafts, practical skills and Adventure Learning experiences designed to help curiosity move from the page into the real world. Learning can happen through reading. Or building. Making. Drawing. Listening. Exploring. Experimenting. Traveling. Gardening. Researching. Talking with someone who knows how to do something—and then trying it yourself.
LEARNING BY DOING
We believe there is enormous value in apprentice-style learning.
Watch someone who knows.
Ask questions.
Try it yourself.
Practice.
Make mistakes.
Get better.
Contribute.
Then someday, teach someone coming behind you.
The mind matters. So do the hands.
TECHNOLOGY WITH A PURPOSE
We aren’t interested in using technology simply because we can. Our research explores where technology can genuinely strengthen learning—and where children may learn better by putting the screen down. That’s why we’re developing pathways that can include powerful technology where it adds value, alongside pathways families can pursue with little or no technology at all. Books. Woods. Tools. Music. Conversation. Experiments. Maps. People. Places.
The tool should serve the learner—not the other way around.

EVERY GENERATION HAS SOMETHING TO TEACH.
As Stone & Arrow grows, we plan to develop safe, thoughtfully designed community experiences—including pen-pal programs, peer-to-peer learning, WayMaker guilds, mentorship and intergenerational opportunities where people can share knowledge, skills and experience.
Our adult WayMaker program will create opportunities for adults to participate, engage and contribute to the betterment of the next generation.
RAISE A WAYMAKER. BECOME A WAYMAKER.
Learn something.
Make something.
Ask another question.
Help someone coming behind you.
The next generation doesn’t only need more information.
They need people willing to walk beside them.
