Our PRIMARY Class offers our children ample opportunities to enhance their social skills. They get to interact not only with other children but also with other adults other than their parents. This is where their language skills are enhanced. It's also an excellent venue for learning emotional and self-regulation skills. Through our engaging lessons and exciting themes that bring smiles to their face, your child will reach many academic goals.
They must have an attention span to sit in a class setting for lessons that are 20-30 minutes at a time. Those in Kindergarten must be pre-writing and have used an electronic device before such as; a phone, tablet, or computer. The PRIMARY Class is for Advanced Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten.

Our ELEMENTARY class is a combined class that allows children who are 6 to 8 years old to apply. The children in this class must be mature enough to keep up with an extensive, rigorous, and fast-paced class with a varied curriculum as well as an attention span to do lessons for at least 30-45 minutes at a time. They also must be writing and have used an electronic device before such as a phone, tablet, or computer. The ELEMENTARY Class is for our First, Second, and Third graders.
Our ELEMENTARY class is heavily STREAMS inspired as well as love, problem, inquiry, and project-based child-directed learning. Which simply means our children are active participants in the learning process. Through collaboration, shared experiences, and in-depth exploration of unique projects, our children develop a rich understanding of the topics that they are investigating.
By learning through problems and projects, the children establish the ability to become “masters” of knowledge related to specific topics – a skill that will serve them well right now and beyond.
It's designed to encourage students to think critically, solve problems, explore and share ideas. We support each student's learning style by offering opportunities for them to work in small groups and one-on-one with their teacher.
The daily schedule is designed to enrich each child knowledge with a variety of hands-on, visual, and auditory, self-directed experiences, and teacher-led activities. Learning includes engineering, science, technology, math, social sciences, games, robotics, reading, life skills, etc.
Our ELEMENTARY class will receive homework and project assignments that requires active participation from them as well as parents throughout the entire school session. Please consider this BEFORE enrolling your child. Any children who are not keeping up will be dropped from the ELEMENTARY class and no refunds will be given. In some instances they may be moved to our PRIMARY class.

To see our Nap and Rest info GO HERE.
After hours of exciting, educational, and fun activities your child's body needs rest. This is to let you know what to expect for your child during nap and rest times. Daily naps for children are essential for good days and good nights.
Many parents believe their child will sleep better at night without a nap during the day. However, if your child is overtired, they may become stressed and irritable, and their behavior may actually worsen. Often they become overactive, making it difficult to fall asleep at bedtime.
Children who nap have longer attention spans and are less irritable than those who are not napping. Children need this time to re-group.
BOARDING
Monthly:
Monthly Membership Dues $1,000
Non-Refundable/Non-Transferable Boarding monthly membership dues are due by the 28th.
*Dedicated bed, dresser/closet for belongings, and homeschool classes. All children would be dropped off and kept for exactly 24 hours X the amount of days you are wanting them to come to our Boarding Homeschool.
Boarding has rolling enrollment. They are welcome to apply to enroll in our Private Boarding Homeschool at any time. Boarding is where the children live on-site. Boarding allows our children to be a part of a family environment, learn life skills, and gives them an opportunity to develop independence in a safe and supportive environment.
One benefit of Boarding is it exposes the children to demanding, character- shaping and friendship-forming experiences that leave lasting impressions on them far outside the realm of the classroom. Strong friendships, independence and self-knowledge often result, as they are taught to handle a diversity of lifestyles.
