Adventure Academy

Choose Your Own Adventure

Adventure Academy launched in the Fall of 2021 with six classes and two teachers. One hundred five students registered for our very first session and almost every single class sold out within the first few hours. Class offerings and enrollment for the first year continued to grow with parents, students, and teachers asking for more.

Today, eight dedicated teachers make up our Adventure Academy Team. With more than fifty classes each session, our Adventure Academy program served 800 students last year. Parents choose Adventure Academy classes to supplement core content instruction and enhance the in home learning experience. Adventure Academy classes encourage curiosity, innovation, and growth, and are a popular option for our TK-8th Grade learners. Many of our classes also offer optional meetups and field trips to help families extend learning beyond their home and engage with other homeschoolers.

Virtual Classes with Hands-On Learning

Vision

Adventure Academy is an academic enrichment program that supports and supplements core content instruction for students in TK-8th Grades. Adventure Academy engages learners by offering a variety of virtual classes which are thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of the whole child. By integrating cross-curricular with core content standards, we help students develop 21st-century academic and social/emotional skills including: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.

Structure

There are four Adventure Academy Sessions each year offering both 4 and 8 week classes. Virtual classes meet once a week for 45 minutes through Zoom, and in-person classes meet once a week for 60 minutes. Twice a year, Adventure Academy takes a mid-semester break. During this time, families are encouraged to take advantage of Field Trips, Clubs, Parks Days, and other schoolwide Community Programs.

There is no limit to the number of classes students can take each session and they can sign up for one or multiple sessions. Our flexible scheduling gives parents the opportunity to customize a learning plan and create a schedule that fits their families unique needs.

Curriculum

Adventure Academy classes encourage questions, curiosity, innovation, and a growth mindset. Each of our credentialed teachers creatively designs their courses from scratch keeping student excitement and engagement at the forefront. Weaving together grade level standards with rich activities, experiments, discussion, and more, students will learn that mistakes and successes are both part of the learning process. Developing course content is a highlight for teachers working in the Adventure Academy program with many of our program staff saying this program has rekindled their love for teaching.

Register

Parents can register students for Adventure Academy classes through Sequoia Sign Up, our schools' online registration platform. Registration happens four times per year and classes are available for pre-view at least one week before registration begins. Session registration opens on Thursdays at 10:00am and closes when a class sells out or one week after the registration start date, which ever comes first. If a class sells out, families can join the waitlist.
