Our weekly Homeschool Social gives students time to connect, create, and play in a relaxed, multi-age environment. Families register for this drop-in session on a week-by-week basis. Social Includes: Community Lunch (Pack your lunch) Board games Outdoor play Open art and craft stations Sensory activities for younger learners A guided multi-age creative project each week Each facilitated activity introduces a new artistic material or technique. The following week, that material remains available for independent exploration, encouraging students to continue experimenting, teaching one another, and building confidence through creative play. Activities are adapted for different age groups and interests, with multiple projects offered as participation grows.
