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.

Sundial Classical – homeschool support program

Sundial Classical Farmstead is a Mon-Thur, 8am to 3pm program that meets at Woldumar Nature Center in Lansing, MI. Our mornings are academic-focused and our afternoons are for socialization, play, and enrichment. We are interested in forming a parent support group that meets one Friday a month. Parents would discuss a topic while the children explored the grounds under supervision.

In our Mon-Thur program, we currently have 15 full or part-time students, ages 5 to 8. Next year we'd like to expand to ages 4 to 12. Tuition: part-time, afternoons only is $25/child/day. Full-time, all 4 days is $5,900/child/school year. We offer tuition discounts for siblings, volunteer parents, etc.
