"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere."
-Chinese Proverb
Akasha’s homeschool students are enrolled in virtual classes (most students are enrolled in Edmentum or other accredited courses*). Accepting students from grades 6 through 12, we provide our students with direct 1:1 support for their online courses. We utilize hybrid teaching models with differentiated instruction led by our talented team of learning coaches. Our classrooms are fully-equipped with school supplies, internet access, computers, and printing capabilities. Akasha creates individual pacing goals for each student. Additionally, Akasha prioritizes social development and provides peer-based activities like communal lunch and study breaks as well as in-house electives, including P.E., music, yoga, computer technology, and art.
The owner and operator of Akasha, Melissa Berman has the experience and the heart to help your child succeed.
