At home
Phonics, arithmetic and workbooks work well at the kitchen table with mom.
Every Monday, 9am to 3pm at Harvest United Methodist Church in Lakewood Ranch, each cohort moves through hour-long blocks, each taught by a different specialist.
A homeschool program for birth through 8th grade, built around the learning that is hardest to recreate at home.

Phonics, arithmetic and workbooks work well at the kitchen table with mom.
Science experiments, clay, mosaics, group scenes and big STEM builds need materials, setup, cleanup and other kids. We take those on, so the mess and the magic happen here.
Our curriculum is project-based and collaborative. Mondays are built around the learning that comes alive with a group of peers: experiments, art, building and shared problem-solving.
Science experiments, STEM builds and art projects that would take an hour of setup at home happen here, with every material provided and friends to try ideas with.
Projects aim at the top of Bloom's taxonomy, analyzing and creating. Students predict, test, adjust and engineer solutions instead of only memorizing and recalling.
Group work teaches compromise and taking turns: when to lead, when to follow, and when the best idea is someone else's. Homeschoolers get steady practice collaborating with peers here.
Every subject builds in chances to present, from science fair findings to a 1920s news broadcast.
Every class is taught by a paid, professional educator who is an expert in that field. Even our youngest learners have their own music, art and enrichment teachers.
Nearly all of our curriculum is custom written by Mindful Leaders Academy, pairing instructional designers with subject-matter experts. You will not find it anywhere else. Drama is the one exception, taught with an established children's drama program's curriculum.

Hands-on science led by Ms. Lisa, who holds a master's degree in education and has more than 35 years of experience teaching STEM. Every step of every project happens in class, so families never have to stage a science project at home.

Led by Ms. Lauren, who holds a degree in early childhood art education. Older students learn the history behind a style before creating in it. Younger artists build fine motor skills through process art that usually begins with a story.
