Our homeschool enrichment program uses unit studies and block-style scheduling. Our teaching style is process not product oriented. We do not test or grade. We encourage peer support and offer positive motivation. Our children learn to love learning.
The classes offered in the morning are Art, Science, Language Arts/Literature, and Focus Studies, which is a Mindfulness combined with History and Social Studies. Each subject is explored for the 2-hour morning class period for 4 weeks within the unit. In the middle of each class, the group will go outside for Nature Observation or a brain break. The afternoon class is 1 hour and features Skillful Play topics such as Mindful Nature Art, Mind-Body Awareness/Training, Performance Arts and/or Public Speaking, STEM.
Parents with children in K-5th grade would only need to supplement writing, spelling/phonics, and some additional math at home on their child’s level. Classes do not assign homework. Children are grouped in multi-graded sections. Children will keep a master record of all their work that they get to take home at the end of the year. Instructors will email weekly class summaries that explain what your child learned — these summaries are great resources to document your homeschooling progress.
