Homeschool Program
Transitional Kindergarten through 5th Grade
At Sparrow Academy, our Homeschool Program offers families the flexibility to provide a rich, Waldorf inspired education at home while receiving dedicated teaching support, carefully curated curriculum, and engaging enrichment opportunities.
Families applying to the homeschool program may submit a note in place of vaccine records indicating their interest in this option.
Bring the living arts into your home and create a learning environment that nurtures creativity, meaningful relationships, and academic growth. Our program supports your child’s whole development with authentic, individualized learning rooted in Waldorf principles.
We are here to equip you with the tools and resources needed to deliver a balanced, joyful, and inspiring education that celebrates the unique gifts of every child.
