WHAT IS WILD HEARTS ADVENTURE CO.?

Wild Hearts Adventure Co. is primarily a twice-weekly drop-off program that encourages students to develop a growth mindset emphasizing creativity and personal excellence. Additionally, we have a variety of other classes and events for learners in this area along with field trips, group hikes, and entrepreneurial events. Check our Events and Services page regularly for up-to-date offerings!

Wild Hearts believes in empowering learners, encouraging curiosity, personalizing education, and developing character. Creativity, the freedom to explore individual passions, autonomy, and the value of developing intrinsic motivation are core values of our community culture.

IS THIS AN ALL AGES PROGRAM? ARE STUDENTS GROUPED BY GRADE LEVEL?

We serve TK-12 students in multi-grade groups based on interests, social compatibility, and maturity levels. Your input will be taken into account as we decide on the groupings.

HOW LARGE ARE THE CLASS GROUPS? WILL THERE BE MUCH TIME FOR SOCIALIZING, OR WILL THERE BE MORE INDEPENDENT WORK?

We plan for each class group to be no more than  10-15 students. They will have time for both independent work and group work. If a student is sitting at a desk doing work independently, that is their choice. We rarely have a teacher lecturing, and students being expected to sit quietly and listen. Each class has a guide who is trained to help the children work toward their goals and also to bring in videos, audiobooks, and hands-on projects to learn as a group. Lunch is also a very popular time of the day! They love having unstructured time to just hang out, which is also important for their development.

WHAT IF MY CHILD IS WORKING ABOVE OR BELOW "GRADE LEVEL"?

Not a problem! Our learners all work at their own level. We encourage personal excellence, not checking boxes. We meet students where they are educationally and developmentally and celebrate their individual strengths.

DO YOU PROVIDE CURRICULUM?

YES! We offer several educational platforms including: Curiosity Chronicles, Generation Genius, CTC Math, Miacademy, MiaPrep, and more. We cover math, ELA, science, social studies, and wide variety of interest-led elective classes.

The offered curriculum platforms will be online and available for use at home throughout the week. Depending on the grade, it will usually be about 5 lessons per week for the year to finish up the curriculum. You and your child can choose whether or not you want to finish the whole year’s work, allow them to only finish part of it, or not use the offered curriculum at all.
For history, science, and electives we will have in-person instruction and hands-on projects to engage in as a group every week.

WHAT ABOUT TUITION?

Our twice-weekly regular program, which runs every Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursay from the end of August through May, is $325 per month) except December which is $250). Our Charter Flex program, runs 3 weeks/mo and is $275 per month.

Additionally, there is an annual registration fee of $40 per student (or $75 per family).

CAN YOU HELP WITH CHARTER SCHOOL WORK SAMPLES?

Absolutely! Work samples can be taken from any activities already offered throughout the month. Although our program is not “worksheet heavy” by nature, there are many opportunities for written work that can work well for samples and other tangible examples of learning throughout the month.  In addition to that, we can show families how to easily get work samples from the online curriculum that we provide for learners.

DO STUDENTS NEED TO BRING THEIR LUNCH, OR IS LUNCH PROVIDED?

Students should bring lunches, water bottles, and any snacks they may want throughout the day.

DO WE HAVE TO COMMIT TO THE ENTIRE YEAR UP FRONT? WHAT IF THIS PROGRAM ISN'T A GOOD FIT FOR MY FAMILY?

No, we only require a 30-day notice if you decide not to continue in the program.  There will never be any expectation of long-term commitment, or pressure, to ever continue with anything that isn’t a good fit for your family.  We are here to serve you and your student’s needs first and foremost!
