We believe that you are your child’s best teacher as a homeschooling parent; however, we recognize that sometimes children learn differently with their parents—or parents are simply BUSY! We support you in educating your child with a focus on reading, math, thinking, and social-emotional learning. We also integrate science and social studies throughout our lessons.
Depending on your family’s goals and your child’s individual needs, our program can serve as a central part of your homeschool year or as an enriching addition to what you’re already doing. Either way, your child receives consistent, responsive support within a small-group setting.
Other programs can be good, but our small, daily Monday through Thursday learning pods set us apart. Each child receives regular opportunities for individualized practice, participation, and feedback from a qualified, caring educator. This level of consistent, personalized small-group learning is unparalleled.
Because every child learns differently, progress and support needs will vary. Some students—particularly those with significant learning differences or skill gaps—may also benefit from supplemental curriculum, targeted small-group intervention, private tutoring, or outside evaluation. No matter what, we support what's best for your child.
Engaging, Responsive, & Rigorous Curriculum
Our curriculum is not limited to one set of national or state standards. We use grade-level expectations, including Common Core Standards, as guides while allowing our students’ strengths and needs to inform instruction. We have found that combining traditional curriculum with evidence-informed teaching strategies helps children build a solid academic foundation.
Regular informal assessment and classroom observation help us gauge student understanding and determine our next steps. Instruction is adapted within the small-group setting to support the students in each class.
(These instructional assessments are meaningful tools used to guide teaching, but they are not intended to replace formal diagnostic, psychological, or special education evaluations.)
Continual Opportunities for Connection & Socialization
We keep our class sizes intentionally small to moderate to encourage engagement and meaningful connections among students and teachers.
Maximized Growth Potential
with Multi-Level Classes
Our philosophy is that when children with varied abilities are thoughtfully grouped together, they have opportunities to learn collaboratively, contribute their strengths, and grow from their individual starting points.
For the 2026–2027 school year, we offer classrooms serving students across grades K–8. We may also support high school students who would benefit from middle school academics and encouraging peer interactions. Class placement considers each student’s age, learning needs, and the overall group dynamic. As we continue to grow and enrollment allows, we will add additional classrooms to create increasingly focused learning groups.
Less Time=More Intentional Learning Model
We truly believe that success and achievement require dedication and effort; however, children do not need to spend six or more hours in live online classes to experience meaningful learning. Our Monday through Thursday learning pods are structured around focused learning blocks, active participation, and movement.
Depending on their age and class placement, students receive approximately 45–90 minutes of live instruction each day. Our kindergarten and first-grade students generally meet for 45 minutes or more, building important foundations in early literacy, math, thinking, and social-emotional development.
Concentrated, meaningful, and intentional live instruction allows students to stay engaged without recreating a full traditional school day online. Our program can serve as a central instructional anchor or complement other homeschool learning. Because every child’s needs are different, families may also choose—or be encouraged—to add home practice, independent curriculum, enrichment, or targeted intervention. Additional courses and learning opportunities are available for families who would like expanded support.
Affordable Tuition Rates,
Exceptional Value
We believe that high-quality, small-group education should be accessible to families who desire it. Our tuition is intentionally structured to offer families a valuable alternative to traditional private school.
Tuition supports live Monday through Thursday learning pods, multisensory instruction, regular opportunities for personalized practice and feedback within the group setting, experienced and caring educators, and a supportive homeschool community. When children feel safe and valued, they are better able to engage, take academic risks, and grow in confidence. We are proud to offer a meaningful learning experience from the comfort of home.
We accept West Virginia Hope Scholarship funds and may participate in additional state ESA programs when eligible and approved. Program availability and coverage depend upon each state’s requirements and the individual family’s eligibility. We are also continuing to explore flexible payment options for families who feel aligned with our heart-centered programming. If you would like us to explore becoming an approved provider in your state, please let us know.

Tentative Schedule for 2026-2027
​
We value thoughtfully designed mixed-age and multi-level groups because students have opportunities to learn from one another, contribute their individual strengths, and engage with appropriately challenging material.
Class placement is based on enrollment, age, learning needs, and overall group dynamics rather than strict grade-level boundaries. As enrollment changes, Whole Child Learning Academy may add, combine, or reorganize classes to create supportive and engaging learning groups.
Classes may be led by Ms. Ashley Matheny or other carefully selected educators who share our whole-child philosophy. Optional add-on classes may also be offered based on student interest, enrollment, staffing, and scheduling. Add-on classes may require separate registration and tuition. Current class offerings and anticipated meeting times are listed below and are subject to adjustment.

Monday through Thursday 10AM EST

Answers to Common Questions
We are not accredited but for good reasons! We have not yet found an accreditation that we are aligned with. Accreditation means losing a lot of freedoms which is one of our core values We fully believe that education should feel like freedom and JOY.
Our Founder and Director of Education, Ashley Matheny, is a certified teacher in her state with over a decade of experience. We also believe that by keeping our school small, we help our students thrive on higher levels than they would doing other programs that do not have such a high level of live components. Homeschool law typically does not require accreditation and what we do is worth way more than status- ask any of our families! 😀
We provide report cards and use Google classroom for records which you can use if your state requires portfolio reviews. We help with that process as well when needed. We are here for you and your family.
