The Hub: Where homeschooled tweens and teens thrive together

Elevating the Homeschool Experience

The Hub is a part-time online microschool where homeschooled tweens and teens (ages 10-16) connect and grow together. Guided by caring facilitators, they meet online in small groups two days a week, to dive into stimulating group activities (ranging from short discussions to months-long creative projects) shaped by everyone’s interests. It’s homeschooling elevated by the power of inspired community, empowering young people to soar further than they could on their own. See how it all comes together in our overview video (above).

What Your Tween or Teen Can Gain From The Hub

Intellectual Growth

Activities harness natural curiosity and the Socratic method to expand horizons and deepen understanding across many 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

Guided collaboration hones essential human skills such as teamwork, critical thinking, and communication, which are becoming even more valuable in a world increasingly shaped by AI.

Supportive Community

Consistent cohorts of like-minded peers and active facilitators, combined with a socially healthy culture, encourage self-discovery, meaningful connections, and a true sense of belonging.

(A facilitator explains how positive peer dynamics inspire growth in this short video.)

Empowered Mindset

Co-creating the program fosters agency, initiative, and responsibility, and builds confidence and adaptability that carry into every area of life.

Fun, Fulfillment, and Future-Readiness

Engaging in a thoughtfully curated, holistic group experience nurtures joy, camaraderie, and growth, while helping young people thrive in a dynamic and unpredictable future.

What It Looks Like in Action

Tweens and teens are grouped into consistent cohorts with similar-aged peers plus two facilitators, who are also active participants. They shape the sessions together, choosing group activities such as collaborative storytelling, discussions, puzzles, purposeful games, and creative multi-media projects, based on their collective interests.

Highlights from an open house mini-session for teens (above) will give you a sense of the vibe (bear in mind that full sessions feature greater variety and depth, as well as joint decision-making; also, group activities and discussions vary depending on the age range.)
