As your homeschool partner, we select frameworks and materials to ensure continued progress towards both personal goals and the requirements put in place by the state of North Carolina. We create and implement individualized work plans, records of attendance, and annual assessments. Not only am I Montessori certified, I'm also an ed-theory geek who delights in weaving the best from Waldorf, Mason, Dewey and the rest into our plans. We experience ever-growing learning opportunities and meet goals that are determined by you - not by the state.
The Schoolhouse
Tailored Curriculum
The Schoolhouse
The schoolhouse is our house. It is a place where children experience personalized learning, access to carefully selected learning materials, and cooperative learning with peers. Our meeting schedule allows homeschooling parents time apart from their children during the week and provides children time to practice concentration and independence in a community environment.
Peace Education
We're not Winging It
Multi-Age Learning
In our schoolhouse, we trust in the spirit of children. We practice grace, courtesy, and respect for learners. We know that learning stops under stress and that curiosity thrives when there is clarity. Our community provides freedom within limits. This means that character is nurtured in a warm working environment.
Multi-Age Learning

Multi-Age Learning
All of us learn the most from those with experiences different from our own. In a multi-age setting, children have opportunities to mentor and develop trusting relationships. This helps us to keep the peace and elevate learning for all.

While we don't give grades, we foster growth - and we do provide feedback. We invest in interest and fascination and have fundamental academic lessons at the ready when kids are ready for them.
