Helping you give your kids the type of education you’ve only dreamed of.

Golden Hours Homeschool Enrichment Program

  • More Doing

    Kids don’t learn through having information poured into their heads, or by busy-work handouts. They need to interact, and do, and have meaningful dialogue about what they’re learning.

  • Tighter Community

    Small size enables more involvement and interaction, learning and activities catered to the individuals, and growing together.

  • More Room to Grow

    Kids learn best when they are known, loved, and challenged. And when they are able to explore and pursue that which excites and engages them.

What We Do:

Biblical Foundations

Using The Bible Project resources, we will explore many foundational biblical topics, like the Image of God, God and Spiritual Beings, Heaven and Earth, the Sermon on the Mount, the Torah, and others. We’ll spend time familiarizing ourselves with the books of the Bible, the basic timeline of biblical history, and the overarching narrative of the Bible.

Fun and Fitness

We will have time and space for both unstructured play and directed activities where we move our bodies, gain new skills, play new and old games, and experience all the benefits of active exercise.

Nature, Spanish, Math, Puzzles, Great Books and More

We take time to be in nature, to learn more and appreciate the natural world around us, including bird and wildlife observation, nature walks, and nature journalling. Spanish, Math enrichment, Puzzles, and reading Great Books together will be regular features of our time together.
