The Heart of Homeschool Meets The Power of Community
Homeschooling is one of the most powerful choices a family can make, and it comes with real challenges. Creating consistent peer community, facilitating hands-on lab science, providing access to art studios, maker spaces, and outdoor adventure, all while covering the full breadth of subjects and managing the demands of daily life - it's a lot to carry. Some of the most essential developmental tasks of childhood are tied directly to peer group experience, finding belonging, navigating social dynamics, discovering identity, and building confidence within a community. Many homeschool families find themselves searching for something that fills those gaps without compromising the values that led them to homeschool in the first place.
That's exactly what Envision was built to do. We hold space for vibrant peer connection and design curriculum blocks that inspire teamwork and collaboration. We add on the experiences that are hardest to replicate at home: nature-based adventures, hands-on experiential learning, and real-world skill building. Through field trips, apprenticeships, and relationships with local mentors and makers, students step beyond the classroom and into the broader community.
Our project-based curriculum meets state standards, but it was built with something bigger in mind, teaching kids how to approach learning itself. How to make connections, think critically, and engage with ideas in ways that stick. Every family's homeschool looks different, and we make it easy to weave what we offer into what you're already doing. Pick up as much or as little as feels right.
We don't aim to replace your homeschool, we aim to enrich it. The most important decisions remain exactly where they belong, with you. At Envision, you remain the author of your child's educational story. We're just here to help bring some of the most exciting chapters to life.
Education Built for a World in Motion
The world our children are growing into is drastically different than anything that’s come before. Academic knowledge matters, but it's no longer enough. To fully thrive in the very near future will require a set of skills unique and essential to this timeline.
Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Envision's block-based, interdisciplinary curriculum is designed to challenge students to connect ideas, ask big questions, and work through real problems. From science experiments to live-action role play, and to community apprenticeships, our students practice thinking, NOT just memorizing.
Emotional Intelligence & Self-Regulation Personal growth is one of Envision's core pillars. We create space for students to develop self-awareness, empathy, and healthy emotional expression - because how we relate to ourselves and others shapes everything that follows.
Financial & Practical Life Skills From practicing entrepreneurship through fundraising opportunities, to hands-on experiences in natural building, permaculture, nutrition, and land stewardship, Envision students graduate with practical competencies that most schools never touch.
Collaboration & Communication At Envision, learning is rarely a solo act. Students work together, debate ideas, perform, present, and build things as a team. Our small, close-knit peer communities give students the real experience of showing up for each other and for something bigger than themselves.
Adaptability & Resilience Resilience isn't built in isolation, it grows through real relationships. Children develop the capacity to adapt and recover when they have peers to navigate challenges alongside. At Envision, our collaborative learning communities provide a consistent peer group to think with, disagree with, and grow with. When plans shift and problems arise, students learn to flex, problem-solve together, and keep going. That's resilience in action.

Programing Built to Fit it’s Participants
Each Year a custom academic curriculum is crafted for each class. This curriculum responds to the specific needs of the students in the group and the desires expressed by families.
At Envision, our Guides have over a decade combined experience crafting custom curriculum for a variety of settings and now 6 years of experience creating curriculum for Envision. Our guides hold traditional training skills in Education and over 2 decades of life experience as educators and guides. They utilize innovative and revolutionary training methodologies and an open mind to help craft & deploy a unique curriculum that empowers participants to solve problems and turn ideas into actions.
Envision utilizes a block rotation of core subject areas to direct our academic studies throughout the school year. Our school year is broken into 3 Trimesters, and each Trimester features 3 subject area blocks that run approx. 4-5 weeks each. Broadly speaking, these block areas correspond with a major core-subject area (ex: math, science, civics, language arts).
Each Block has it’s own focus area, associated projects, reading materials, writing and art activities. We often use role playing, games, and field trips to practice what we are learning in real, tactile environments. Through first-hand experience, participants are exposed to the diversity of perspectives available within a given situation. We emphasize the development of problem solving capabilities and critical thinking capacities.
