LEAP Adds A Ton Of Value Added to Homeschool Day!
If your homeschool family, is like our homeschool family, your always looking for something to add value to your families educational journey.
TSD LEAP Homeschool Enrichment program may be a perfect fit for you.
They offer a wide variety of classes for Kindergarten through 12.
These classes are enrichment classes that add to and enforce what we teach at home. They also open new doors to learning things that may not be easily offered at home.
Science classes such as Genetics, Astronomy, Zoology, can be too expensive to hold at home. They are offered in a way that all kids can enjoy the classes.
Language Arts are supported through classes that delve into fact, fiction and open the imagination while reinforcing basics of essay, speach, and other foundational practices. English lit, Hero or Villain, Democracy 101, and Oral Communication are just a few of these classes.
Other classes offered at LEAP include P.E., Cooking, Crochet, National Parks, 3 dimensional art, Folk Dancing, History (Medievil, Colorado), and Music. These enrichment programs add to your homeschool curriculum to create a complete portfolio for your kids.
The classes LEAP offers, aren't just classes, they are created and taught by teachers who are passionate about the subjects they offer. New classes are offered every year alongside the staple classes.
LEAP is great for kids Kindergarten through 12.
They have a great Kindergarten program the covers author study, all about the world around me, insects and plants, art, and music.
For the older students there are engaging classes and opportunities to take college classes. Classes at AIMS and Front Range Community College are available to start your teen's journey.
Curriculum Library
One secret that I love about LEAP is the availability to borrow curriculum from their Curriculum Library.
You can check out resources like a library to use for the year. Curriculum resources like Math U See, Literacy at Work, Science a Closer Look, Story of the World, and Atelier Art for example. These resources are available to check out and return at the end of the year for grades K-12.
Spring Program
Another favorite of ours is the Spring program. Each grade holds a fun performance for families to enjoy every spring.
Volunteering
Families are encourage to volunteer for lunch and recess duty. It's a great way to say hi to your kids and meet fellow parents, school staff, and your kids friends!
Teachers and students alike truly love LEAP.
“LEAP is the best kept secret in Thompson School District,” according to Noland Eastin, P.E. teacher at Thompson School District’s Homeschool enrichment program.
Student's love LEAP so much they don't want to miss a day, even a snow day.
Are you curious about LEAP? You can bring your child to experience a day at LEAP in person to see if this may be something that might fit your homeschool family.
