Lily Lake Homeschool:
A Child-Led Learning Center
A self-directed learning environment where homeschooled kids from all backgrounds and ages can spend their days together, free to come and go as best works for your family.
With learning guides and more structured training available, Lily Lake offers a place to explore, interact, and grow.​
Our homeschool community is just that…a community. We are dedicated to fostering "childhood untrammeled" through child-led learning experiences. Our supportive environment welcomes homeschooling families seeking a balanced approach to education that honors each child's natural curiosity and developmental journey.​
We cater to families who value:
- Child-directed learning opportunities
- A supportive community of families who choose non-traditional schooling
- Natural, unhurried childhood development
What Else is Included in a Membership
-
Daily “spark sessions*” created by our learning guide. These two-hour student-directed sessions are engaging, hands-on activities that introduce learners to new concepts and emphasize student collaboration and problem-solving. We focus on STEM, movement, and creativity and each session can be tailored to different age levels (because we are similar to a one-room school).
Sessions are offered in the morning and afternoon, to accommodate your schedule! Here’s a sample schedule to help you get an idea of what we do.
*Please Note: The spark sessions are encouraged but are optional. Our goal is to be flexible – we want you and your family to utilize the space in the capacity that best fits your needs. You know what’s best for your kiddos!
-
Access to our homeschool community. We know how isolating homeschooling can feel. One of our main goals is to bring together families who choose an alternative education path for their children and provide a support system; a community of others in this very same season of life to interact with, engage with, and do life together.
-
Access to our completely remodeled space. We completely renovated the Lily Lake facility, from the bottom up. Upstairs we have desks, chairs, and a wide variety of supplies you can utilize while on site. Downstairs we have a more casual environment with couches, chairs, and even a stage for performances! We also have a brand-new kitchen with an oven, microwave, and refrigerator.
-
Specialty Classes: These classes are separate from our “spark sessions.” We hire an outside specialist to teach in their area of expertise. These classes are available to the general public (you do not need a membership to attend!) and are charged separately from a homeschool membership, usually around $20 for non-members and $15 for members, per child.
