Morning Program

The focus of the Morning Program is to support students’ in the four core subject areas while establishing important study skills including time management, organization, effective communication, and independence. Students benefit from one on one interaction with the subject matter they are studying whether it be with the direct instruction of a teacher, through manipulatives, from books, or on-line. Homework may be assigned but can be completed without logging on to the on-line curriculum. Students must be in 3rd or 4th grade and enrolled in a K12 online program.

Afternoon Program

The Afternoon Program is based on a common thread of the inter-relationship to all things. The students are taught subject matters of The Earth, Community & Culture, Art & Physical Movement, The Self, Family, Purpose, Passion, and Direction. The focus is to individually attend to the child and work with them on awareness, self-understanding, acceptance, meaning and enjoyment of all things and peoples. There is a deep level of freedom in the flow of study, as well as a committed process to higher forms of education.
