About Us

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit private school, homeschool and afterschool educational resources center.  We’ve been operating as an online group with various classes and field trips since 2010, and as a physical school since 2014.  We also have a pretty amazing set of world-class robotics teams for our kids!

 

Our vision has always been to offer our students a well-rounded education, with a focus on the 21st-Century skills they need to be successful as adults.  Our students learn through hands-on experiential learning so that they absorb their lessons.

 

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” – Benjamin Franklin

 

 

This vision was born from my own experience as a single, homeschooling mom of three kids of varying ages and abilities.  The question is asked of me often, “how do I both work and homeschool?”  The answer is, “it’s not easy…it takes help; but it can be done!”  I homeschooled only my now-graduated son for years because he could remain home while I worked.  My younger two children stated out “afterschooling” with me, attending public school during the day.  My son, also, got pretty lonely being home all day by himself, and he was far too old for daycare.  Further, when we have activities; there is an obvious choice that has to be made, given the fact that at least one or two of my children will not be involved in the same activity at the same time.  The best-case scenario is one location that can fulfill all of their needs at one during a given time.

 

This center is meant to fulfill those needs.  We don’t limit ourselves to homeschoolers, however; and we hope to continue to open our resources to public and private school children in a summer and after-school setting.

 

I hope this space comes to mean as much to you as it does to me!
