Our goal is to begin middle to late August and run in six week quests. At the end of every six weeks students will present their work in a school wide forum that evening and then take 1-2 weeks off. We’ll be back after that for another six week quest with the school year ending mid to late June.

You’ll enjoy the flexibility for family time that homeschoolers have with the structure of a school supporting your child’s learning journey.

Our current plan is for the daily morning meeting to begin promptly at 9am. You can drop off children anytime after 8:40am and pick them up at 3:15pm.

The classrooms will have mixed ages of learners that will resemble more of an artist’s studio or workshop. Each student will have his or her own desk space with lots of mixed use space.

Elementary aged, middle school aged, and high school aged will each have their own workshop and we will not accept more than 36 students per workshop space.

Each workshop space will have an adult mentor who will help facilitate socratic circles, morning and afternoon meetings, conflict resolution, and project goal setting.

Elementary & Middle:
9am: Socratic Circle then the morning meeting. 9:30 - 11:30am is spent on their ‘core work’ like reading, writing, and math. An hour for lunch & play. Then from 12:30pm - 2:30pm they work on their quest project. Brain breaks through the day are highly encouraged and most work will be done in 18 - 25 minute increments so no one is overwhelmed. By 3pm their workshop needs to be clean for their afternoon meeting and then parent pick up!

High school:
9am: Morning meeting. 9:15am - 12:15pm ‘core work’ (like reading, writing, science, math) is done. An hour for lunch and play. Then Socratic Circle and working on your quest project until 2:40pm. Clean up from 2:40 - 3pm for the afternoon meeting at 3 and parent pick up at 3:15!

As we update with more information, we will have a form for parents to fill out. Once the form is filled out, we’ll go over it. If your family looks like an awesome founding family, we’ll ask the parents to read two books and then we’ll meet with the whole family for their final interview.

While we respect all religions, we’ll only be covering religion in respect to world religions and how Western Christianity influenced our founding fathers and our current culture.

Libertarianism does not fall into the left or right narrative. We’ll be encouraging students to live by the Golden Rule and the Silver Rule (Don’t hurt people, and don’t take their stuff.), anything else that takes a hard left or right stance in our current culture is up to parents to address at home.

Right now our estimates are showing we’ll be charging around $7,300/child in the elementary/middle school ages and around $9,000/child in the high school ages.

We will be working to accept the Step Up homeschool or private school scholarship.

The Hero’s Journey your children will embark on in our academy will require them to have the ability to self-direct much of their education. Unfortunately, we have no professional training or expertise in this area. Children who need a great deal of individualized attention would not thrive here.

We’ll need a minimum of 15 children to start the school. If more people are interested in homeschool pods for the first year than a school, we’ll need a minimum of 20 children.

Our homeschool pods will be connected to the school with all children following the same schedule for projects and breaks. The only difference will be that homeschoolers will come in three days a week and microschoolers will be in session five days a week. Tuition will be slightly less for homeschool pod families.

No.

Families are already stressed enough, your evenings are for family time. Go enjoy your kiddos!

Mastery > Grades. Our badge system will encourage children to actually master their work before moving on.
