Two-Day Homeschool Enrichment Program (Grades 1-5)
TUITION AND ENROLLMENT INFORMATION FOR 2025-26 WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON!
This program is designed for homeschool families seeking supplemental activities to enhance their homeschooling journey. Your child will spend two days with us each week, cultivating a love for learning while developing their intellectual, social, and emotional capacities. Classes will be indoors with plenty of outdoor opportunities and occasional field days.
By employing the Waldorf teaching method, which engages each student's head, heart, and hands in our daily rhythm, we can accommodate various learning styles and ensure that every child feels valued and appreciated.
​
Classes will be combined based on grade levels, with first grade as a stand-alone class, second and third grade combined, and fourth and fifth grade combined for the morning main lesson. Afternoons will be combined ages.
Note: We will consider some older and developmentally ready kindergartners in our first grade group on a case by case basis or to accommodate siblings.
