Education Experience for the Entire Family
Family Time is Important. We will not be sending regular work home with your child. Time spent with family is very important and we want to help expand that.
Your Child Has a Voice. Your child knows what they like. They gravitate toward certain subjects or stories. They are an individual with ideas to share with the world. Our homeschool style curriculum will be structured in a way that allows individual students to be part of the process.
Parent Teacher Connection. The use of the Playground app will allow you to always have direct communication with your child’s teacher. Your child’s teacher will be able to send photos, update grades, share stories about your child’s day, or discuss any issues that may arise.
Immersion Field Trips. Learning is so much more than sitting in the traditional classroom. Deeply engaged learning can happen anywhere, especially when children are given the chance to create firsthand experiences.
Why Copper Learning Academy is Right for Your Family
We are committed to creating and maintaining a learning environment that nurtures the development of the whole child.
We emphasize experiential learning outside of the traditional classroom.
We’re focused on competency-based learning, with the goal of stepping away from seat-time in favor of flexibility for each child.
Spending time immersed in nature allows children to test themselves and to connect with their inner strength.
We prioritize learning a second language because knowing more than one language fosters new opportunities for our children.

What are Parents Saying?
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what parents have to say!
“My children’s creativity explodes when they embrace the unknown. After years of homeschooling, it is evident that they thrive with personalized and diversified education. The ability to freely move while learning has been shown to lead to greater information retention; being a part of a school environment that embraces my children’s natural curiosity and desire to explore and learn, all while expanding their perceived boundaries and limits, is exactly what we are looking for.”
Kaitlyn L.
“My child’s education is extremely important to me and an outdoor school provides certain opportunities that are lacking at other schools. Smaller class sizes allow teachers to meet the children where they are at academically and provide flexibility in terms of teaching style. There is more opportunity for students to pursue what truly interests them and fuel their passion for learning.”
Brittany J.
“All kids should be given the opportunity to think outside of the box. Life doesn’t have to always be measured by one standardized test. Kids can learn so much through nature and that’s why my children will be the first ones signed up!”
