Homeschool Hybrid Program (TK-6th Grade)

Empowering Parents, Inspiring Young Learners

Our Homeschool Hybrid Program offers a nurturing blend of in-person instruction and at-home learning, thoughtfully designed for students in Transitional Kindergarten through 6th grade. Recognizing the pivotal role of parents in their children’s education, our program provides two days of focused, engaging instruction led by elementary educators, complemented by flexible at-home learning opportunities guided by parents.

Our Homeschool Hybrid Philosophy (TK-6th Grade)

We believe that a child’s educational journey is most impactful when parents and educators work together. Our hybrid model for TK-6th grade provides the structured classroom learning environment and expert instruction that young learners thrive in, while honoring the flexibility and personalized attention inherent in homeschooling.

  • In-Person Learning (Tuesdays & Thursdays): Students will engage in dynamic lessons, hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and positive peer interactions within a supportive classroom setting. Our knowledgeable elementary instructors will deliver grade-appropriate instruction aligned with state standards, igniting a passion for learning and building foundational skills in Math, Science, English Language Arts (ELA), and History/Social Studies.
  • At-Home Learning (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays): These days are dedicated to reinforcing classroom learning through engaging activities, exploring individual interests, and deepening understanding under the guidance of parents. We will provide grade-appropriate resources, activity suggestions, and clear connections to the in-class curriculum to support parents in fostering their child’s learning at home, creating a cohesive and enriching educational experience.

A Collaborative Journey 

We recognize the immense commitment of parents in the elementary years. We are dedicated to fostering open communication and a strong partnership. Regular updates, age-appropriate progress reports, and opportunities for parent-teacher connection will ensure a supportive and collaborative approach to your child’s learning adventure.
