Frequently Asked Questions
who will be teaching the courses?
All of our teachers are carefully selected, background checked, and bring hands-on experience working with children ages 4–12. Each member of our team has worked in school or learning-center environments and is chosen for their ability to create engaging, supportive, and well-structured classrooms. You can learn more about our teachers by visiting our Our Team page to view their individual bios.
What curriculum do you use? do you offer individualized lesson plans for advanced students?
Our curriculum is based on a high-quality secular unit studies program that integrates novel studies, project-based learning, and hands-on exploration. Lessons are thoughtfully adapted to meet the developmental and skill levels of each student group while engaging a variety of learning styles through interactive, creative, and experiential approaches.
While we do not offer fully individualized learning plans, we are able to scale work within each age group when a student needs additional challenge. Our lessons are designed with flexibility in mind, and we often provide slightly more advanced versions of activities, reading, or writing expectations for students who are ready to go deeper. This allows students to stay with their peer group while still being appropriately challenged and engaged.
Is your program accredited?
No, our program is not accredited. Students who attend are still considered homeschool students, and families remain responsible for maintaining academic records. We do not keep official academic files or issue transcripts.

How do you decide what age group students will be placed in?
Students are placed based on a combination of age and overall skill level. We use general developmental guidelines and parent input to ensure each child is placed in the group where they will feel both supported and appropriately challenged. During your Parent Partnership Chat, we’ll discuss your child’s strengths, needs, and learning style to help determine the best fit.
Our groups are described as:
Blue Group (Beginner Learners):
These students are beginning readers and writers. They are developing early literacy skills such as letter recognition, phonics, basic word building, and simple sentence formation.
Red Group (Developing Learners):
These students have some experience with reading and writing. They are strengthening foundational literacy skills while beginning to engage with more complex texts, expanding vocabulary, and writing with greater intention and structure.
Green Group (Advancing Learners):
These students are developing stronger reading comprehension and writing abilities. They are transitioning from learning to read to reading to learn, and their writing is becoming more detailed, organized, and expressive.
This flexible approach allows us to place students where they will feel confident, engaged, and appropriately challenged.
If i enroll in a single enrichment day, will my child miss Material?
No, your child will not miss material if enrolled in a single enrichment day. Enrichment classes are designed to stand alone and are not dependent on attendance from other days. While the weekly theme or topic may be similar, each day’s lesson is unique and tailored to the specific age group. This allows students to fully participate and benefit from the experience no matter which enrichment day they attend.
are courses offered year round?
Yes, our courses are offered year round. Classes are open for enrollment at any time, as long as there is availability in the desired age group.
What is the attendance policy? Do you offer flexibility to take time off for extended travel?
We offer flexibility for both short-term travel and longer breaks. Families may request short-term vacation credits for brief absences, as well as a tuition pause of up to two months per academic year (consecutive or non-consecutive) for extended time away, such as summer travel or family needs.
Details regarding fees, eligibility, and requirements are outlined in our Parent Handbook, which is provided during tours.
How do use technology in the classroom?
We take a very intentional and limited approach to technology in the classroom. Students do not use individual computers or personal devices, as our focus is on building strong foundational skills through hands-on learning, collaboration, and real-world experiences before introducing personal technology.
We use shared classroom screens for short, purposeful supplemental videos or clips that support the topics being taught. These are used sparingly and only when they enhance understanding. On rare occasions or during special events, we may show age-appropriate movies as part of a themed activity or celebration.
We also maintain a cell phone and smartwatch–free policy for students. This policy exists not only to reduce distractions, but also to protect student safety and privacy, ensure age-appropriate interactions, and maintain a focused, secure learning environment.
Do you grade & are there homework assignments? how do i know how my child is doing?
We do not use traditional grades, and there are no required homework assignments. As a homeschool enrichment program, our focus is on meaningful learning experiences, growth, and skill development rather than formal grading.
For Core Days, families receive a quarterly learning packet that includes our current learning objectives, suggested at-home activities, helpful resources, spelling words, and reading recommendations. This allows you to easily support and extend your child’s learning on homeschool days as needed.
We also keep families informed in several ways:
Regular updates and classroom highlights shared through our parent portal
Teacher feedback and open communication about student progress
Fall and Spring assessments to give families a snapshot of academic growth
This approach provides meaningful insight into your child’s development while keeping learning flexible, supportive, and homeschool-centered.
do you offer tours?
Yes, we offer scheduled tours for our facility as part of our enrollment process. To schedule a tour, please reach out to hello@heartsynchomeschool.com, or fill out our contact form at the bottom of the homepage. Check our Calendar for scheduled open houses.
Are there any specific religious or membership requirements?
Our program is completely secular. Our courses do not include religious instruction and are open to all families, regardless of religious affiliation or background.
The only requirement for enrollment is that your child is being homeschooled in some capacity, as HeartSync serves as a supplement to your homeschool education.
Are background checks required for Teachers & parents?
All teachers are required to complete a background check prior to employment.
All tours and visits are supervised, and our closed-campus policy helps ensure the safety, security, and consistency of our learning environment for students.
What are the age requirements? are students required to be potty trained?
We currently accept children ages 4-12 years of age. All students must be able to use the restroom independently.
When do you accept enrollments?
You are able to enroll in enrichment at any point in the year, provided there is an open spot in the desired age group.
Is there an option for a tuition payment plan?
Yes, we offer tuition paid in full for a discounted rate, or tuition paid on a monthly basis. Please see cost breakdowns here: Pricing
do you offer discounts for siblings?
Yes, we offer a 15% discount for each sibling enrolled. Please see full tuition breakdown here: Pricing
What subjects do you offer?
We currently offer the following enrichment subjects: STEM, Spanish, Art & SEL, Life Skills, Music & Theater. Core subjects offered are: Math, Language Arts, Writing, Science, & Social Studies. See detailed course descriptions here. Click each age group to see the weekly schedules.
Do I have to particpate in both core days?
Yes. Enrollment in our Core Program requires participation on both Tuesday and Thursday. The curriculum and structure are designed as a two-day experience, and consistent attendance on both days is essential for continuity and student success.
Do i need to provide lunch or snacks?
Yes, students are required to bring their own peanut free lunch & peanut free snack. Please bring a reusable water bottle to use throughout the day.
Do you require vaccines?
At HeartSync Homeschool Hub, we are committed to creating a healthy and safe environment for all students, families, and staff.
We respectfully request that families follow standard vaccination schedules as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or provide an exemption form.
Do you offer support for special needs?
We are not a specialized program for students with disabilities, but we are always happy to have an open and honest conversation about your child’s individual needs. Our goal is to determine whether our environment and structure would be a good fit for your family.
We offer a Discovery Day as an opportunity for students to experience our classroom setting, routines, and expectations so we can better assess whether our program can appropriately support their needs. If we feel that we are not the best fit, we are also happy to help guide families toward additional local resources that may be more suitable.
Please reach out to us at hello@heartsynchomeschool.com to start that conversation.
