Our Programs

At Learning Cove Enrichment Center, we provide structured academic, tutoring and enrichment programs for homeschooled students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

Our Academic Tracks provide focused instruction in reading, writing, mathematics and science. Students can also participate in hands-on STEM, creative arts, horticulture, life skills, leadership development and social learning opportunities.

With small instructional groups and a personalized approach, Learning Cove supports students who need to strengthen foundational skills, close learning gaps or advance beyond grade-level expectations.

Families may choose a two-day or four-day Academic Track, targeted tutoring, individual enrichment classes or specialized seasonal programs. Eligible Step Up For Students scholarship funding is accepted for approved services.
