Considerations: 

• Caregivers/Parents of learners in the K-3 program will have to stay on campus on Mondays and Wednesdays from 11:30 am-12:30 pm for lunch hour. We are always looking for Background checked Parent Volunteers for lunch breaks. 

• K-3 clubs max out at 10 learners per club. 4th-8th clubs max out at 10 learners per club.

• Tuesdays and Thursdays are drop off for all ages with a supervised lunch. 

• While we do warmly welcome students with special needs, we want to be transparent about our limitations in providing specific accommodations within our clubs. Our instructors are passionate about supporting homeschooling parents who wish to adapt and modify our curriculum to suit the needs of their children at home. However, it's important to note that our staff is not specifically trained in special education at this time. All students must be self governing as we do not have the staff or space for 1:1 support at this time.
