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.

New Leaf Cooperative

New Leaf is a cooperative preschool learning community that meets Wednesday mornings in the parks and wild spaces of the greater Charlotte area. Our aim is to encourage young children and their families to connect with nature and their sense of wonder through stories, songs, exploration, and play.

We welcome you to join us as we share our time, knowledge, and resources to create thoughtful gatherings and teachable moments.
