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 interests, social compatibility, and maturity levels. Your input will be taken into account as we decide on the groupings.

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, if ever, 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.

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.

The offered curriculum 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 and science, we will have in-person instruction and hands-on projects to engage in as a group every week. If they only attend one day a week, they will only get one of these each week.

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)

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

No, the commitment is month to month.  There will never be any expectation of 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!
