Homeschool Co-Op Studio

Our Homeschool Studio is designed for children ages 6-15.  Students are divided into two age-based groups for more focused learning opportunities. Our Homeschool Studio is open Monday-Thursdays from 9 am-3 pm.  We have field trips throughout the session.  Field trips may take place on a Friday based on activity availability.

Navigators

Students 10-15 years attend co-op on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 am-3 pm.

Structured Learning Pathways

Children spend time learning through hands-on activities.  We spend time in Art Studio, Writier's Workshop, Book Club, and Science Lab.

 

Art Studio allows each student to create masterpieces using various mediums from watercolors to paper mache.  Students will enjoy art each week in studio!  Writer's Workshop gives students a chance to flex their creative writing skills.  Children will explore various styles of writing from haikus to comic strips!  Book Club is a wonderful opportunity to read the classics and discuss their perspectives on each title.  In Science Lab we delve into hands-on exploration of several types of science principles.  Come ready to discover from day one!  

Our typical day includes Nervous System Regulation.  Children learn easier and have more fun when they feel safe and grounded.  Calming Circle is where we gather, center ourselves, and prepare our minds, bodies, and spirits for our homeschool studio adventures.  We may learn about and engage in breath work, meditation styles, balance work, stretching, and positive affirmations.

Children are given time each studio day to engage in Individual Exploration.  Students may use studio resources or bring items from home to work on during individual exploration.  For example: needle point projects, handcrafts, reading books, board games, and the like.  Gaming devices and cell phone use is not permitted.  Students may use cell phones to contact parents only during studio.  Studio time is for studio friends.
