Wildflower Learning Collective is an independent educational enrichment provider serving children and families in our community. Our classes, workshops, and programs are available to the general public and are not limited to members, private school students, or a closed educational community. We are committed to providing inclusive, accessible learning opportunities for all families.
The beauty of homeschooling is the freedom it offers. The freedom to spend meaningful time with family, to build intentional community, to choose our curriculum, and to shape the way we do life. While we all have choices, the "why" behind those choices is unique to each family.
Wildflower Learning Collective was created to bring like-minded families together. To gather those who share a similar "why" and expand that sense of freedom beyond the home. We share a commitment to raising children with strong values, personal responsibility, kindness, grace, grit, and a sense of purpose.
Wildflower Learning Collective is a small, close-knit community where our children can grow up alongside one another, engage in hands-on group learning, develop meaningful relationships, and be accepted and appreciated for who they are. We partner with families who are invested, present, and aligned in building a stable, supportive foundation for their children's growth.
Wildflower is more than a learning space- it's a home away from home.
We serve children ages 8-12 in a mixed age group setting. We provide student–teacher ratios averaging 9:1, with many parts of the day as low as 8:1, ensuring personalized attention for every student.
Each school year our age group will shift up, allowing our children to continue to learn and grow alongside each other. We feel learning in a mixed-age group can create a powerful learning environment. Instead of holding every child to the exact same developmental standard, a mixed group creates a more natural, flexible system—closer to how people actually learn outside school.
Wildflower Learning Collective families focus on teaching the three core fundamentals at home- reading, writing, and arithmetic. Within our classes, we explore History, Science, Debate, Public Speaking, as well as a variety of electives ranging from Art, Cooking, Foreign Language, and Physical Education.
All History and Science projects include both a hands-on component and a writing component, encouraging students to engage deeply with the material while developing critical thinking and communication skills.
At Wildflower Learning Collective we like to bring history to life. This semester we will explore our individual ancestry, read and listen to historical fiction and non-fiction books/sources, and of course engage in hands-on activities and games related to our readings and findings. We will have an end of semester academic showcase entitled "My Story in American History".
Science is best taught and remembered through doing. This semester we will take a deep dive into chemistry. We will be exploring this field of science through HST Science curriculum. Each week we will be conducting experiments and engaging in hands-on science experiments to solidify concepts.

Have you ever noticed how the most captivating speakers don't just recite information—they tell unforgettable stories? Welcome to Storytellers Studio! This course brings the prestigious public speaking and theater frameworks taught at top universities straight to 3rd–7th graders. Why wait until college to learn how to command a room? Instead of the stress of memorizing facts for a traditional speech, students will learn the craft of public speaking by doing what humans do best: telling stories. By shifting the focus to tales they want to tell, we take the pressure off. Students won't worry about forgetting a list of statistics or facts; instead, they will naturally master audience connection, vocal dynamics, body language, and stage presence—building invaluable, lifelong communication skills.
