Homeschool Hub
Learning experiences, community & support for homeschool families
Every homeschool journey looks a little different—and we think that’s something worth celebrating.
The Homeschool Hub is a place for families to find meaningful learning experiences, opportunities for connection, and support along the way. From small-group Curiosity Circles and immersive Learning Labs and Discovery Days, to homeschool evaluations and family resources, our offerings are designed to complement the learning already happening at home while giving learners new ways to explore their interests, build confidence, and discover alongside others.
Whether you’re looking for a community of curious learners, a new experience to spark your child’s imagination, or a little guidance for your homeschool journey, there’s a place for you here.
Curiosity Circles
Small groups. Big questions. Meaningful discovery.
Created especially for homeschool learners, Curiosity Circles are multi-week, small-group learning experiences that give students the time and space to explore a topic more deeply.
Each Circle is built around a shared theme and brings learning to life through hands-on investigation, discussion, creative challenges, collaboration, and meaningful connections across subjects. With intentionally small groups, learners have opportunities to contribute their ideas, learn alongside peers, and follow their curiosity in ways that aren’t always possible in a traditional classroom.
Topics change throughout the year, so every Curiosity Circle offers a new adventure to explore.
Our Fall 2026 Curiosity Circle: Passport to Discovery — Around the World
A six-week journey across continents, cultures, geography, food, history, and more—culminating in a celebration of everything our explorers discover along the way.

Homeschooling doesn’t come with a one-size-fits-all instruction manual.
Whether you’re considering homeschooling, just getting started, or looking for fresh ideas along the way, Homeschool 101 is here to help you find a path that works for your family.
From navigating Virginia homeschool requirements and exploring curriculum options to creating routines, organizing learning spaces, and thinking through the everyday “How do I actually make this work?” questions, we offer practical, personalized support for your homeschool journey.
