Learning in Community

We truly believe learning in community isn't a luxury, it is a necessity. Homeschooling is not meant to be done alone and we all know learning is a lot more fun with friends involved. We believe learning together deeply connects kids and we think there are four areas in the homeschool home that are often neglected because they are harder to do because of set-up, messiness or lack of interest. We decided we wanted to meet that need and ARROWS Collaborative was born. Due to the growth of ARROWS there may be special interest classes added on in the future but for this season, our four classes are Science (with a lab or STEM aspect), Art, P.E. and Immersive History (with props or hands on activities based on what we are studying). We divide up our students into five groupings - Scouts (ages 4-5), Pioneers (6-7), Explorers (ages 8-9), Pathfinders (ages 10-12), Trailblazers (ages 13+) and high schoolers (15-18).

The Scouts programing is slightly different than the other groups since it is designed with shorter activities and more activities perfect for ages 4-5.

Our high school program is exciting because we will be focusing on project based learning. We want to give our high schoolers real world challenges which will prepare them for their life after high school whether they choose to attend college, learn a trade or start a business. We believe the job market is rapidly evolving and we want to develop and encourage creative thinking and problem solving to prepare our students for their next step towards adulthood.

The Explorers, Pathfinders and Trailblazers all rotate through each subject and are challenged at their appropriate level. From Scouts to Trailblazers, each grouping is centered around activities that are hands-on, fun and challenging.

We meet Tuesdays from 9:30 am - 2:00 pm

Typical Schedule:

Drop-off begins at 9:15 am

Assembly starts at 9:30 am

Everyone meets together in the assembly hall where we start the day off in prayer, scripture reading, weather report and usually one other short activity.

After Assembly, the Scouts will go off with their teacher and the other groups are separated and begin their first block of classes.

After another rotation for the older groups, we re-convene in the assembly hall for lunch and show-n-tell. After lunch, older students continue rotating through their classes; the Scouts continue with their special activities until everyone is picked up at 2:00 pm.

Scouts and Pioneers

This is where it all begins! In our Scouts (ages 4–5) and Pioneers (ages 6–7) program, students are introduced to foundational skills that set the tone for a lifetime of learning. Children practice working as a team, raising their hands, listening to others, and developing respect and responsibility in an engaging environment.

Throughout the day, students rotate through a variety of hands-on learning, including a literature-based nature study, physical education, and art. While both Scouts and Pioneers participate in these classes, Pioneer activities are thoughtfully adapted to support their growing abilities and independence.

Fall 2026

We're excited to announce that this fall, we're partnering with Camp of the Hill's TimberNook program! Through this partnership, students will participate in recurring outdoor adventures developed by occupational therapists that encourage holistic, play-based experiences designed to challenge both the mind and body.

TimberNook immerses children in nature through creative, child-led play that fosters imagination while supporting important developmental milestones. Each thoughtfully designed experience promotes holistic growth, including social, cognitive, and gross motor development, giving students the opportunity to learn, explore, and thrive in the outdoors.

Explorers

As students grow, they step into our Explorers (ages 8–9) program, where curiosity deepens and learning expands.

Throughout the day, students rotate through classes, including interactive history, marine biology, art, and physical education. Each subject is designed to encourage critical thinking in a hands-on, collaborative environment.

Pathfinders

Learning becomes even deeper in the Pathfinders (ages 10–12) program. Students rotate through interactive history, marine biology, art, and physical education, with each class thoughtfully tailored to their age. Students participate in hands-on projects, meaningful discussions, and collaborative learning.

In marine biology, Pathfinders participate in guided dissections, giving them the opportunity to explore anatomy firsthand.

*Students who are 12 years old, have the option to attend our full program or single class enrollment (see below for times)

Trailblazers and High School

Our Trailblazers (age 13+/middle school) and High School (ages 15–18) programs are designed to support students as they grow into independent, self-directed learners.

Families have the flexibility to enroll in single courses or participate in the full-day program, allowing each student’s schedule to be tailored to their goals and interests.

A project-based course introducing trades through hands-on experiences like launching a micro-business, serving the community, and building a portfolio for real-world credentials, with guest trades & Career professionals sharing their expertise.

Art

We love introducing our art students to many different mediums and techniques. We want them to be challenged so they will grow in their abilities but not to the point they are frustrated and want to give up. Art is meant to be fun and expressive!

We explore the world of science by first looking to the author of science Himself and let Him be our Guide as we study the beautiful world around us. Our science is all hands-on since we believe one of the best ways to learn is to try something out!

Science

PE

We have a blast in PE with our structured games and fitness challenges, but most importantly we teach what it is to have perseverance and good sportsmanship. We get to experience winning and losing and how to handle all the emotions that come with either outcome with grace and self-control.
