Our Programs
All of our programs are led by Kayla, a NC licensed teacher, to provide a meaningful, natural, and creative experience.
Community Events
Free
Each semester we offer free community events open to the public. These include free story circles with a read aloud and games as well as academic events. Academic events are hands-on and revolve around a specific learning theme. These events are open to all ages. Registration is required to properly prepare materials.
Upcoming 2026 Free Events:
August- Story Circle: The Boy Who Invented Popsicles followed by a Back to Homeschool Popsicle Party!
December- Christmas Around The World
Go to our Events page for more details and to register.
Book Club
Materials Fee
Book Clubs meet once a week for 3-4 weeks. Registration includes a Parent Guide that includes extension activities related to the text that tie in math, science, social studies, art, and nature study. Activities are hands-on and screen free with the exception of a few educational video clips. A portion of the text is read each week at home and activities are chosen from the Parent Guide to complete at home to extend learning. We meet weekly at various parks in town to play games, do art projects, and act out scenes to discuss and expand on the week's readings.
Our next Book Club will meet Thursdays in September 2026. We will study Aesop's Fables. Register on the Events page.
Core Subject Enrichment
Registration Fee
Throughout the year we offer multiple events to enhance core subject studies. In the fall, we host a Living Wax Museum to enhance history and composition studies through research and writing. The culminating event is a Wax Museum in which students take on the persona of a famous historical character and dress like them. When attendees "press" the students' button, they come to life and deliver a short speech about that person's life and accomplishments.
In the Spring we host a traditional Science Fair in which students choose a research topic, conduct research, prepare a trip-fold board, and present to a panel of judges. Awards are given based on domains of science.
Elective Enrichment Programs
Registration Fee
We prioritize learning outside of the traditional core subjects, so we offer many classes throughout the year that focus on the variety of other skills well rounded individuals need. Workshops include handiwork like sewing, social skills for neurodiverse learners, art and athletic studies like ballet and golf, gardening, beekeeping, and more! If you are interested in sharing your own creative gifts and skill sets with the Rocksaboxen Community, please reach out to Ms. Kayla!
