Frequently asked questions
Straight answers for parents. Educators looking into the HUBS platform have their own FAQ.
-
No. We're a learning community that homeschooling families use as the structured, social, hands-on part of their week. Families remain the educators of record. Many members attend one or two full days a week and do the rest of their learning at home.on text goes here
-
Ages 7 to 17, in one deliberately mixed-age environment. Projects offer different tracks by challenge level, not by birth year.
-
Many of our members are. The predictable daily structure, small groups, and project-based work suit a lot of kids who struggle in conventional classrooms. We aren't a therapeutic program and we don't make clinical claims, so the honest answer is: come tour, tell us about your child, and let's figure out fit together. That conversation is what tours are for.
-
At least one day a week, ideally two, most weeks. It's the one thing we hold firm on, because that's the minimum for your child to really be part of a team. Attending the same weekday keeps your child with the same crew through a full term arc, though packages count visits rather than particular days, so a missed usual day can become a visit on another day.
-
Start with a tour, and bring your child. A trial is a regular paid visit (it can count toward a package), and it shows the environment and the structure. It can't show what changes after a child has been part of a team for a term. Some kids click in a week; some take a term. New members can also cancel within the first 7 days and receive a refund for unused visits.
-
No grades. Members build a record of real work instead: projects finished, skills practiced, artifacts made. Parents can see goals and progress through our platform. For Florida homeschool evaluations, this evidence record tends to make the annual conversation easy.
-
Memberships are prepaid visit packages in two speeds: regular packs assume about two visits a week, premium packs about one. Same options for kids and teens. And yes, Step Up for Students scholarships cover membership and camps for eligible families, and we handle the billing directly.
-
Open Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 4:00; we strongly recommend arriving at 9:00. After 4:00, Winter Park runs the tutoring and academics block until 6:00 on select days, and Altamonte Springs offers extended stay at $20 per hour.
-
Lunch, a water bottle, and clothes that can meet paint or sawdust. Lunchtime is screen-free. We provide the tools and materials. You can bring a laptop if you want.
-
Our Central Florida centers are where the programs are built and run every day, by our own team. Separately, we license our platform and program library to independent educators who run their own learning communities under their own names. Those are hubs. If you're a parent, the centers on this site are ours; if you're an educator, the platform pages are for you.
