Short Summary
Description
Do you know an intellectually curious tween or teen who thrives on collaboration?
The Hub is where curiosity meets community for homeschooled tweens and teens. In our dynamic, interdisciplinary program, they meet in small groups two half-days a week, to explore big ideas, tackle cool projects, and grow together with a consistent group of peers.
Instead of being tied down by a fixed curriculum, participants and facilitators jointly choose activities and projects, based on each cohort's collective interests. Examples include: purposeful games focused on geography, financial literacy, math, science or other subjects; collaborative art and storytelling; puzzles; discussions; and video and website productions.
Each cohort is led by two facilitators, who challenge the young people to expand their thinking using the Socratic method, while also supporting them to develop valuable personal and interpersonal life skills, and to work together as a high-functioning, socially healthy community. The cohorts age up with the participants.
Interested parents and their children are invited to either join us for an open house or set up an individual meeting to gauge the fit.
Policies
30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee
Everyone will get the most out of the experience if there's a healthy group dynamic and all participants want to be there, so we do our best to make sure the program is a good fit all around before someone new comes on board. As an extra measure, there is a 30-day, no-further-obligation trial period. In the unlikely event that, for whatever reason, the program turns out not to be a good fit for an enrolled young person (or vice versa) during that time, unenrollment is permitted, and the remainder of the term's tuition is refunded.
Neurodivergency Specializations and Accommodations
Our program is co-created by the participants and facilitators (who are also active participants themselves), and is guided by curiosity rather than a set curriculum. Gifted children therefore have a lot of adult as well as peer-to-peer interaction, and opportunities to suggest and do things they find stimulating.
