Available for students in K-8th grade.

This package focuses on community building for the entire family! Enjoy weekly Enrichment Venture School classes as well as local and virtual community events throughout the entire school year.

Enrichment Venture School:

Enrichment Venture School is an onsite, once-a-week day of extracurricular classes for home-educating students in grades K-8. Parents are welcome to join our staff, accompany their students, or drop students off for a day of hands-on, enrichment fun! For so many of our students, it’s their favorite day of the week!

Through four weekly interactive and project-based classes, students have an opportunity to build peer connections, learn from a variety of instructors, and participate in fun elective classes outside their core curricula. Classes are based on a combination of instructor expertise and student interest and have included topics like locally significant traditions, messy science experiments, art, baking, music, foreign language, robotics, nature studies, and more!

Each student will also be provided with a Venture Upward t-shirt that they are welcome to wear on Venture School days or to community events!

Community Events:

• Nationwide Pen Pal Program
• Monthly Park Days
• Monthly Nature Club Days
• Monthly Virtual Book Clubs for Kids
• Quarterly Virtual Book Clubs for Parents

We welcome all students to our Venture Schools. Some of our students may have additional support needs, which will need to be met in partnership with parents. Please be aware that Venture School does not provide specially trained staff to accommodate students with higher needs or who require behavioral support. In circumstances where a student requires this level of additional support, it is our policy that a parent or caregiver attend Venture School to provide the extra support for the student.

Parents and site managers will work together to determine if additional supervision needs exist. In our commitment to make Venture Upward a safe and welcoming place for all, our site managers retain discretion to determine if a student will require a parent or caregiver to attend. Our highest priority is for all students and staff to have a safe and positive experience at Venture School! Thank you for supporting your child and helping to ensure their safety and success.

This package focuses on a well-rounded and FUN education, allowing students to dive into core curriculum with friends and enjoy community-building events for the entire family!

Core Subject Venture School:

Core Subject Venture School is an onsite, once-a-week day of core curriculum classes for home-educating students in grades 3-8. Parents are welcome to join our staff, accompany their students, or drop students off for a day of engaging activities and meaningful exploration.

One day a week, we embark on a journey together to lay the foundation for a well-rounded education while fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for learning. Students will participate in four core subject classes – language arts, science, social studies, and Spanish! These subjects will make up students’ core curricula and include at-home homework and reading assignments. The only subject your family will need to provide on your own is a math curriculum!

Each student will also be provided with a Venture Upward t-shirt that they are welcome to wear on Venture School days or to community events!
