Supported Rate: $850/month

Community Rate : $500/month (limited availability)

  • Daily ELA instruction aligned to the Hochman Method: explicit, sequenced writing instruction built from the sentence up, embedded in the content students are actually reading and studying
  • Reading for deep comprehension: students learn to read closely for theme, argument, subtext, and text structure, not just surface-level plot
  • Grammar taught in the context of student writing: sentence expansion, combining, subordinating conjunctions, transitions, and appositives, never as isolated drills
  • Structured outlining from Single-Paragraph Outlines (SPO) through Multi-Paragraph Outlines (MPO): students learn to plan before they write and revise with intention
  • Summarization, note-taking, and vocabulary development integrated into every ELA session
  • Daily Math Instruction matched to each student’s current level — from foundational elementary math (Grades 3–5) through Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and up to Calculus (AB/BC)
  • Small group instruction; multiple students may join the same session
  • Personalized pacing within each group session
  • Progress check-ins throughout the program

Standard Summer Program

Runs June 22nd to August 28th with a July 4th Break

Schedule

3 days per week (days arranged by enrollment)

Structure

Approximately 1 hour – 1 hour 15 minutes per session 2 days a week.

1 in-person day 3 hours

Supported Rate: $550/month

Community Rate : $350/month (limited availability)

  • ELA instruction aligned to the Hochman Method: writing and comprehension taught together, beginning at the sentence level and building toward structured, well-argued paragraphs and compositions
  • Math instruction matched to each student’s current level  from foundational elementary math (Grades 3–5) through Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and up to Calculus (AB/BC) with a focus on targeted instruction, review and remediation as needed. Learning is reinforced through visual-spatial reinforcing hands-on activities.
  • Hybrid delivery, with some sessions online and some in-person
  • Overlapping session model to maximize instructional efficiency

The Whole Learner Workshop

The Whole Learner Workshop is an immersive multi-day program based on a key learning principle: students retain knowledge better through various modalities and context. Every activity is integrated: slime-making combines chemistry, while recipes involve fractions and writing. Students engage by reading, writing, calculating, and presenting.

Schedule

3 days per week, approximately 4 hours per day

Structure

In-person, drop-off style, structured full-program day

Pricing

Standard Rate: $1,500/month (reflects the full cost of instruction, materials, and program development. Choosing this tier helps sustain access for others)

Supported Rate: $1025/month

Community Rate : $625/month (limited availability)

  • Academic Core: Fully Integrated

    • ELA instruction aligned to the Hochman Method: writing and comprehension woven into every activity, from sentence-level craft through structured composition; students write about what they build, read about what they cook, and argue about what they observe
    • Math instruction is tailored to each student’s level—from Grades 3–5 through Pre-Algebra to Calculus—combining flexible, real-time differentiation with a embedded in applied learning through circuits, visual-spatial practice (like tangrams), and targeted tools such as Desmos, Tinkercad, and Amplify to help students apply and connect concepts across topics.
    • Vocabulary and summarization built into every session; students are always reading, discussing, and writing in response to what they are doing

     

    Applied Learning: Content-Driven, Academically Integrated

    • Science experiments and making projects (slime, chemical reactions, simple circuits, building challenges), each connected to scientific concepts students read about and write about
    • Cooking and measurement: students follow and adapt recipes, explore fractions and ratios in real time, and write procedural and descriptive responses to what they create
    • Applied life skills (budgeting, planning, sequencing, and presenting) taught through real tasks, not simulations
    • Project-based culminating work: students choose a topic, research it, organize their thinking using outlining tools, and present their findings in writing and orally

     

    The Whole Learner Philosophy

    The Whole Learner Workshop is built on the belief that children learn best when they are actively engaged: when the work is meaningful, the standards are high, and the environment is both demanding and kind. Curiosity is not a reward for finishing the real work. It is the real work.

Reading a book is one thing. Writing about it with intelligence, precision, and craft is another. The Art of the Book Report is a focused intensive designed for students in grades 5 through 12 who want to move beyond the surface and learn how to truly engage with a text, and then communicate that engagement on the page.

This is not a worksheet exercise. Students will work directly with an instructor through a structured process that covers the full arc of literary response writing, from first reading to final draft.

Students will learn to:

  • Read for comprehension, moving beyond plot to theme, argument, and subtext
  • Identify and analyze key ideas worth writing about
  • Structure an intelligent, well-argued book report
  • Integrate and format quotations from the text
  • Cite sources correctly and professionally
  • Revise and refine their writing for clarity and impact
