Link Education League offers part-time homeschool programs for elementary and middle school-aged students. All of our programs are rooted in the same philosophies, principles, and values. This provides a consistent learning environment from class to class whether you are involved in the longer 2-day Lift Program or a shorter once-a-week class.
The Lift Program
We have designed our Lift Program to not just help students reach the next level individually, but to learn what personally gives them lift and how, together, we can lift each other higher.
The Lift Program is available to elementary and middle-school aged students age 6 through 14.
The core principles of the Lift program are creativity, challenge, collaboration, choice, and context. At the beginning of each term, students set goals that challenge them in their strengths. Then they begin exploring the term topic in class and at home. As students are exposed to new ideas and cultures, are given hands-on learning opportunities, and collaborate with their peers, they discover their interests, passions, and abilities. As the term continues, students direct their learning, choose their own projects, and develop their skills. The term culminates in an in-person celebration where students demonstrate their learning through displayed projects, performances, and personal learning portfolio.

Year-Long Class
For students ages 7 to 12, we are offering a Nature Program that focuses on the subjects of science, language arts, and art in a natural and integrated way. Students will hone their observation skills, and keep science notebooks, nature journals, and field notes. Our learning will be shaped by our environment whether it is studying wetland ecology and animals, river systems and the water cycle, or mountains and geology. Students will also study nature as inspiration for various art projects.
All classes will be taught with the same commitment to creativity, Link Education League Values, and have a similar learning environment as our Lift Program.

MUSE Performers
Junior Class: Ages 7-11
Senior Class: Ages 12-15
Wednesdays 10:30 am – 3:00 pm
Year-Long Class
This class has a strong base in all aspects of theatre— acting and technical. But it is also so much more! The play becomes the starting point, frame, and context for learning in this interdisciplinary class.
Students spend the semester learning about the world of the play, its history, culture, geography, science, engineering, and technology through hands-on projects and activities, many of which contribute to the final production as props, set pieces, or costumes. Students also experience a deeper level of empathy and understanding by participating as actors. Synergistically, their acting skills also increase because they have been immersing themselves in the world of the play.
