The Foundations Academy

The Foundations Academy is a K-8 unique educational enrichment experience for homeschooling families. Our programs are deeply rooted in faith and agrarian tradition. We are dedicated to fostering a love for learning in a supportive and nurturing environment. We offer weekly academic programs Monday through Thursday 9am-2:30pm that are centered around developing the whole child, building character, and equipping learners with important life skills. The Charlotte Mason approach permeates throughout the entire foundation of our cooperative. Our programs offer access to agricultural activities, horsemanship, builder's workshop, cooking, and spaces where children, and their families, can learn and grow side by side. We are committed to fostering children's natural curiosity by providing them with immersive, hands-on experiences that promote exploration, investigation, and inquiry about the world. We believe that parents should be able to direct their children's educational plan and actively participate in their child's education. Our homeschool cooperative offers parents a true partnership, where they are able to participate alongside their children in day-to-day activities within the cooperative setting, but also gives them access to parent workshops and resources that support them in their homeschooling and parenting journey. We believe generations flourish when families are supported - while learning and growing together.

Little Explorers Nature Club

Little Explorers Nature Club, designed for children aged 2–10, offers Charlotte Mason–inspired outdoor sessions that ignite curiosity and promote joyful, hands-on learning in nature.

Our semi-structured “Learn, Play & Explore” sessions introduce a new nature theme each week! Children enjoy storytime, theme-based crafts or experiments, and plenty of free play and exploration in the great outdoors.

We currently offer three weekly sessions:

Wednesday Nature Club | 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Held at local trails and beaches across Prince George’s and Anne Arundel counties (all within 30 minutes of Bowie, MD). These sessions emphasize nature exploration and community.

Thursday Backyard Studio | 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Hosted in our private outdoor space in Bowie, this cozy, play-based enrichment program includes Bible time, STEAM activities, crafts, sensory play, storytime, and outdoor free play, perfect for PreK through early elementary learners.

All sessions are Charlotte Mason–inspired, faith-based, and family-friendly. Parents or caregivers attend alongside their children to foster a supportive, connected community.
