Sections listed above coincide with traditional grade levels of PreK-1st, 2nd-4th, and 5th-8th. Please select the group which you feel would best suit your child/ren. *Students must be 4 years old by January 1, 2026, to participate in the program.
Cultivate is designed to supplement, not replace, a home education. It does not include other necessary subjects, such as math and reading. Students will be given assignments each week (for the subjects offered at Cultivate) to complete during their home instruction days.
When you enroll your child(ren) in classes at Cultivate, they will get so much more than just academic lessons! Our hope is that, by joining us at Cultivate, your student will not only gain knowledge, but also a sense of belonging in this community of fellow homeschoolers.
