Part-Time, Tuition-Free Learning Designed for Homeschool Students, Grades K-8
Hands-On Courses, Flexible Schedules, and Real-World Experiences at The STEAD School Beginning Aug. 14, 2025
The STEAD School’s Homeschool “Soil To Table” Enrichment Program offers a flexible, part-time opportunity for students to dive deep into gardening, greenhouse science, animal science, and the culinary arts. By engaging in hands-on, career-connected learning—from tending to sustainable crops and studying livestock to creating healthy dishes from scratch—students gain vital skills without giving up the freedom of a homeschool lifestyle.
Our curriculum focuses on Hands-On Courses, Flexible Schedules, and Real-World Experiences. Enrollment includes access to professional-grade labs, creative studios, and immersive learning adventures that bridge the gap between the field and the plate. More robust than a traditional co-op, the program blends structure and expert mentorship within a welcoming, science-forward school community.
Interested families are encouraged to submit the inquiry form below to receive additional information on the program.
Seats are limited for the 2025–26 school year. We encourage families to apply early to secure their spot.
