Registration links open this week.

These are the courses available to our homeschool students.  We offer additional coursework to create a full-time program through our parent organization, Prairie Paideia.

Please click the tabs below to see offerings for the age ranges of your children.  We place students based on ability and social maturity more than by age.  Please review the Parent Considerations section of the course page and then talk to us if you believe your student should be in a higher or lower level course.  We prefer to place students by ability rather than age and our community (adults and children) embraces students where they are.

  • Elementary: approximate ages 6-10 (Upper Elementary is age 9/10 for additional pre-middle school skills)
  • Middle School:  approximate ages 10-14
  • High School: approximate ages 13+

Each high school CORE Subject course (in blue) is:

  • Differentiated to accommodate 9th-12th grade within the same course at different levels of challenge
  • Intended to be all you need for a fully transcriptable course in the subject being taught.
  • 35 weeks long with in-person direct group instruction and individual work that can be done at home (check each course's Time Required Outside of Class section) or at our campus during an available Flex Work Time for students who work better with support or outside of their home.
  • If your student is doing their at-home work is being done during Flex Work Time this does not guarantee that you will complete all of your individual work.  Please see Parent Considerations on the Flex Work Time page before registering and contact us to determine what may be needed for your child.

Enrichment/after 3pm offerings will open for registration in early August.
