From Me to the Moon!
Our class begins with the tiny cells in our human body and will progress outward beyond the stars! Lessons include: exploring the five senses and body systems, our family tree, our community, our state, our country, our planet, and wrap up the year floating somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy!
Around the World in 30 weeks!
Join us as we set sail on a journey to distant lands! We began our travels by learning about our own amazing continent, North America, and then continue on through the remaining six continents! Lessons include exploration of Brazil, Italy, Egypt Japan, and Australia & Antarctica, discovering new and interesting facts about the culture, people, geography, food, music, and more!

Make Friends!
The Treehouse is passionate about providing a classroom environment where homeschoolers can not only learn and grow, but also make lasting friendships with peers their own age. Offering extended class days (3-5 hours), allows students to form deep connections with others, communicate effectively, learn humility, resolve conflict, and how to lead others well.
Build Character!
Each lesson taught in our Trailblazers class focuses on a specific theme and includes a character education component. Concepts like perseverance, gratitude, cooperation, self-control, integrity, and forgiveness are modeled, taught, and practiced in every class! Often times, a fun game or activity is used to demonstrate a specific trait to give students a more concrete understanding of the skill.
Learn Fun Stuff!
All Trailblazers lessons are based on themes that kids love! Some favorites are Extreme Weather, Adventures Around the World, Oceanography, Fun with Figures (math games), Astronomy, Young Writers Workshop, Amazing Animals & Insects, and many more! Lessons are taught using a cross-curricular approach and are designed to appeal to all types of learning styles including: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners.
