FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Wild Hearts Adventure Co. serves the community in two ways. One is our twice-weekly drop-off program that encourages students to develop a growth mindset with an emphasis on creativity and personal excellence. Additionally, we have other events for learners in this area including field trips, group hikes, and entrepreneurial events.
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.
We serve TK-12 students in multi-grade groups based on learning/maturity levels. Your input will be taken in to account as we decide on the groupings.
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.
We offer several educational platforms including: Curiosity Chronicles, Generation Genius, CTC Math, Miacademy, MiaPrep, and Quests (for learners to earn badges that show their learning). We cover math, ELA, science, and social studies.
Our twice-weekly regular program, which runs every week from September through November, and January through May, is $325 per month. Our Charter Flex program, offered exclusively in Visalia, runs 3 weeks/mo and is $250 per month. Selma offers Monday-only attendance at the rate of $185 per month, along with Makerspace Fridays held every week for the rate of $200 per month ($115/mo if also attending Mondays) Twice monthly attendance of Makerspace is also available at both locations. We accept charter school funds! Additionally, there is an annual registration fee of $30 per student (or $50 per family).
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 do offer to support our students to have one grade-level sample prepared by the end of the learning period (LP) in the subjects of science and social studies (note: only available to learners enrolled in science/social studies classes during the LP)
