Supporting a Consistent Academic Foundation

Core Subjects & Academic Responsibility

At Renewed Roots, parents remain the primary homeschool educators and retain full responsibility for their child’s core academic instruction. Our role is to support, reinforce, and enrich that learning within a nature-based environment, not to replace parent-directed homeschooling.

We recommend that families maintain a homeschool structure of approximately four hours per day across required subject areas on non-forest days, consistent with regional homeschool guidance used as our planning framework. For every day a child attends Renewed Roots, families also commit to completing an additional hour of core academic work at home, ensuring continuity, depth, and consistency in learning.

While children are on campus, our team supports academic growth through structured learning blocks, small-group instruction, and integrated enrichment experiences that complement each child’s homeschool curriculum.

Unified Curriculum Resources

While parents may choose any curriculum that fits their family’s needs, we strongly encourage families enrolled in our Homeschool Enrichment Program to use a unified set of recommended curriculum resources.

Using shared curriculum tools allows:

• Our staff to guide learning more effectively during academic blocks

• Children to receive consistent instruction and support across groups

• The school day to maintain a calm, predictable rhythm for all students

Families may opt to use alternative curricula if needed; however, the programs we recommend are the ones our staff is trained to support most fully.
