Redefining education
through beloved identity.
What is The Homestead Academy?
The Homestead Academy is an independent, Christ-centered school model that seeks to develop learners with hands-on, project-based experiential learning, coupled with academic learning processes drawn from around the world.
The Homestead Academy fosters an innovative educational approach that follows the micro school movement. A micro school is an education experience with a small, mixed age student population, places an emphasis on experiential learning and mastering or understanding curricula and material.
THA is a learning community that builds interpersonal skills, individual student-tailored learning, and customized curriculum and academic platforms. THA was born out of a necessity to develop each child based on their specific learning needs instead of the widespread systemic approach, and to foster the beloved identity in each soul.
Who should attend?
THA is a full-time program that meets Monday through Thursday, 9am-2pm.
Creatives accepted into THA are ages 6-17.
Where are we located?
The Homestead Academy is located at 6071 New Hope Rd, Aubrey, TX at our completely renovated facility inside The Homestead Church.
