We are not a 'traditional' school.

Rather, we are more of a community education program that also includes educational classes among sports, music, and more.

This way you can take whatever you would like without having to take all your classes from one place.

Our academic classes do work well with homeschooling families or simply families who want additional academic enrichment.

The good news is that we're here to help with any particular subjects you might have trouble with.

Additionally, we have Rachel Madrigal as our homeschool counselor to help you navigate this transition!
She is also the head of Classical Conversations in this region, so she can give you information on that co-op as well if you'd like.

Her information is available upon request so just let us know!

Our academic side tends to focus on day-time classes for the nearby homeschool community.

However, the sports, clubs, etc. are offered to everyone!

Absolutely! All of our teachers and coaches are simply people from the area who know things about things.

You can set your own schedule, rates, maximum/minimum student count, etc.

Listing a class/sport is completely free, so there's no harm in trying.

Can you teach about cars? Lead a nature hike? Teach phonics to younger students?

We handle everything - including advertising - so you just have to teach them when they show up.

We do have a home campus with a general teaching room (at 2038 US-8 St. Croix Falls, WI 54024).
However, we also host many sports in the big park in Dresser and inidivdual teachers can teach wherever makes sense to them!

Ultimately, the cost of each class or activity are set by individual teachers and coaches.

This allows them to take into account the size of the class, material costs, etc. which vary from subject to subject.

Absolutely! Academic classes have a free payment plan that charges once per month throughout the year.

Many other sports, music, etc. classes operate either week to week or month to month.

Individual teachers may offer lower prices if you are a family in need. If in doubt, it never hurts to ask.

To get in touch with a particular teacher, click the yellow 'Taught By' button on each class page!

This varies from class to class, but generally you can request a refund for future classes if you decide to not continue on.
For more specifics, please contact the teacher of the class you are interested in.

Quality:
Teachers are required to list their education and related work experience. We do not require college degrees or any particular work experience, but families are absolutely free to choose who they would like to work with based on those criteria.

Safety:
Every teacher must pass an industry-standard background check to work with us (the same criteria as public schools, sports coaches, and so on).

Additionally, it is an absolute requirement for teaching with us that a second adult must be present at all times (a child's parent would be sufficient).
Any teacher breaking this rule may be immediately removed from the Academy listing (as judged on a case-by-case basis).

We also collect regular evaluations of teachers from families to help screen for any issues and encourage parents to reach out with any concerns!

Our main goal with Covid policies is to simply let families have the freedom to choose what is best for them. They may wear a mask if they like, of course, but it is not mandatory.

If a child shows symptoms or tests positive, we do ask that they stay home until they fully recover and quarantine as necessary.
