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.

summer program / 2025-26 – 1st to 3rd graders learning pod

Dear family in Jesus, :)

My husband, Peter, is the teacher for this pod. He is trained under Ampleside. And Joanna is the mom who is hosting it in her home. You will find her lovely blog here: http://heartforchristschools.blogspot.com/2025/02/our-journey-with-glenbrook-christian.html.

The reason I’m excited to share this learning pod opportunity with families is because I think that they would appreciate its uniquely nurturing and Christ centered setting. Because it is very small, the children receive quality attention to help them flourish in every way. The learning experience encourages them to interact with Jesus in every moment and idea as they discover their full and beautiful design in His likeness.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about this and please do share widely!

Fieldwork Fridays

“Fieldwork” is essentially nature study. We get out in nature and explore it together! Fieldwork Fridays are a great place to connect with other homeschool families and learn about the Charlotte Mason approach to nature study. This is a relaxed group that welcomes homeschoolers that use any methodology in the home. Charlotte Mason experience and/or application is not needed to enjoy our group, it simply acts as a framework to aid in planning our outings and group activities!

We will meet in the Murray (Calloway County, KY) and/or Paris (Henry County, TN) areas. Please reach out with any questions and if you’d like to help get this group going strong!
