Ase Homeschool Co-op
Ase Learning Academies
Optional seasonal enrichment programs designed to complement our unschool, family-based homeschool philosophy — choose the academies that best match your children's interests.
Our Learning Academies
At Ase Homeschool Co-op, our Learning Academies are optional seasonal enrichment programs that support our family-based, interest-led homeschool community.
Our academies encourage creativity, critical thinking, real-world experiences, and hands-on learning while giving families the flexibility to learn together at a comfortable pace.
Academy Schedule
Our Learning Academies are intentionally spread throughout each season to provide families with a relaxed and enjoyable learning experience. Rather than meeting every week, academy sessions are held every other week, giving families time to enjoy independent learning, field trips, park days, family activities, community events, and hands-on educational experiences between academy sessions.
