GiftEd Homeschool Days
A recurring day for curious children—and the families raising them.
One weekday at a time, we turn the city into a living classroom. Instead of recreating school indoors, children learn by meeting people, noticing place, asking questions, and creating something of their own.
Ages 5–12Length 90–120 minutesPrice $75 per child
Make something
Children learn with their hands through art, building, storytelling, food traditions, and playful discovery.
Find your village
Small groups give children room to connect—and families a welcoming community to return to.
The Hidden Classroom
Gather. Explore. Return.
Gather
We welcome the group, spark curiosity, and introduce the day’s place, person, or object.
Explore
Children investigate through movement, conversation, observation, and hands-on making.
Return
We close with reflection and something meaningful to carry home: a story, creation, or new question.
