Elevating the Homeschool Experience
The Hub is a part-time online microschool that brings tweens and teens together for shared activities, life skills, and community.
That’s the nutshell. But what makes it truly special is how your child grows—intellectually, socially, and emotionally—when they’re part of a trusted group that meets regularly to dive into topics that pique their collective curiosity.
In our expertly facilitated groups, which meet online twice a week, young people ages 10 to 16 engage with peers on everything from short discussions to long-term interdisciplinary projects, which are selected and shaped together. They expand their horizons and build essential personal and interpersonal skills, while forming meaningful relationships with both peers and mentors. The Hub allows homeschoolers to have the flexibility they value, along with the structure and connection they often seek, so young people can belong, become, and go further than they could on their own.

What Your Tween or Teen Can Gain From The Hub
Intellectual Growth
Activities harness natural curiosity to learn more about all sorts of subjects (e.g., language, science, social studies, math, art), in an organic, interdisciplinary and engaging way.
(Discover how curiosity can fuel learning in this short video.)
Life Skills
Thoughtfully guided collaboration hones vital skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, and communication.
Supportive Community
Consistent cohorts with an intentional, socially healthy culture build trust and encourage young people to stretch outside their comfort zones, while forming meaningful connections and enjoying a sense of belonging.
(A facilitator explains how positive peer dynamics inspire growth in this short video.)
Empowered Mindset
Involving young people in decision-making around group activities and roles develops agency and confidence.
Fun, Fulfillment, and Future-Readiness
Engaging with a regular peer group creates joy and meets key developmental needs, while also preparing young people for adulthood.
What It Looks Like in Action
Tweens and teens are placed in cohorts with similarly aged peers and two facilitators, who join in as active participants while encouraging exploration and growth. Together they shape each session around their collective interests and curiosities. Activities range from collaborative art and storytelling to discussions, puzzles, purposeful games, and more—all while building life skills and a strong sense of community.
The video above features highlights from several short bonus sessions. Regular sessions are similar in spirit, but may include up to 10 participants per cohort, delve more deeply into topics of interest, and also devote time to months-long group projects.
