An incubator for independent thinkers.
Our mission is to extend the spirit of Bixby School to the homeschool community — fostering an environment where curiosity drives learning, individual talents are celebrated, and children prepare to become purposeful global citizens.
Most program services are delivered by Bixby School faculty through a services agreement, giving homeschool families access to the same inquiry-based, project-driven instruction that has shaped Bixby students for decades. Classes are small (6–12 students), led by certified teachers and content specialists.
Four core program areas
Hands-on, interdisciplinary, and joyful.
Programming is inquiry-based and project-driven, drawing real-world questions across the arts, sciences, and humanities. Each area is led by a content specialist.
Science
Inquiry-based investigation of real-world phenomena. Students explore driving questions through observation, experimentation, and discovery.
Math
A multi-sensory approach grounded in applied math skills and concepts — including support for students working to develop core math fluency.
Literacy
Structured literacy support using the Orton-Gillingham approach, individualized and mastery-based for students who benefit from foundational reading and writing development.
Our approach
Guided discovery, not delivered facts.
We see education as a partnership where the child’s curiosity leads. Instruction is a process of guided discovery, with teachers who scaffold real-world inquiry across disciplines.
Social-Emotional Learning
Students develop emotional language, self-awareness, and the social skills to advocate, collaborate, and care for themselves within a community of learners.
Academic Support
Individualized, mastery-based instruction for students encountering learning challenges — with research-backed literacy and math methods.
Hands-On Learning
Real-world questions and projects develop academic, social, and critical-thinking skills in tandem.
A Vibrant Community
An inclusive “home base” where students, educators, and families collaborate — honoring the autonomy of the homeschool journey.
