Where Curious Minds Become Lifelong Learners
A small learning community where children grow together academically and socially, year after year.
Our microschool serves students in grades 1-3, blending strong core academics with rich literature, thoughtful discussion, and meaningful learning experiences that inspire confident readers, critical thinkers, and a genuine love of learning.
Why Families Choose
The Art of Homeschool
The Art of Homeschool brings together what many families are looking for but rarely find in one place: strong core academics, rich literature-based learning, and a close-knit homeschool community. Meeting two mornings each week, students receive focused instruction in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science while Fridays provide opportunities for guided field trips, friendships, and shared experiences beyond the classroom. Families receive guidance on how learning can be extended naturally at home throughout the week.
Led by Nikita Pujara, The Art of Homeschool is built upon years of studying how children learn. Graduate training in developmental psychology, pediatric neurology, and learning science combined with nearly two decades of experience working with kids and families shapes every lesson, creating an educational experience that is both academically rigorous and deeply engaging.
Our Curriculum
We thoughtfully combine high-quality curricula such as Moving Beyond the Page, Five in a Row, Math with Confidence, Michael Clay Thompson and more to create a cohesive academic experience.
Instruction is intentionally modified to support clear skill progression, strong foundations, and meaningful practice across subjects.
Strong Foundations, Meaningful Learning
Exploration, creativity, and rich learning experiences are just as important as strong, intentional instruction. We explicitly teach core skills in reading, writing, grammar, and math, adjusting instruction to meet students where they are and helping them build toward what comes next.
Classroom Culture Is Intentionally Built
We shape a classroom culture where students feel supported, challenged, and connected.
Friendships grow year after year through consistent routines that reinforce kindness, leadership, and effort. Students practice teamwork during group learning, develop respectful communication skills, and learn to support one another through shared challenges.
The result is a close-knit learning community where children feel confident, valued, and motivated to do their best.
Community Events & Enrichment
🎬 Monthly Movie Social
On the last Friday of each month, we host a free movie social open to the homeschool community. This is a great time for parents to mingle, while children connect in a relaxed, social setting.
🚌 Field Trips
Voluntary field trips will be held on a monthly basis as well and provide opportunities for our students to extend their learning beyond the classroom. These fieldtrips are optional but strongly encouraged and will typically occur outside of regularly scheduled class times.
