2024 - 2025: Adventure Awaits!

7 - 12 years old

If you're looking to build community while enhancing your homeschool curriculum with hands-on projects, this is the class for you!

Geography based: Exploration of different areas of the world and science concepts through STEM, PBL (project-based learning), art and hands-on activities.

Exploration of an area's culture such as music, food, traditions, dance, etc. enhances learning by providing context for topics while increasing cultural literacy. For example: Anatomy? Let's visit Renaissance Italy to check out Leonardo da Vinci's sketchbooks! While we're at it, let's also explore Italy's history, food, celebrations, art, etc. While traveling through various places, academic concepts aligned with the TEKS will be incorporated in a STEAM or PBL manner.


STEAM & PBL

Using a blend of STEAM and PBL (project-based learning) that fosters curiosity, students gain content area growth while increasing critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills.   

Some benefits of project-based instruction:

 Students are encouraged to explore, problem solve and enjoy the process!
