The SOCO PULSE Homeschool Pod is a small, project-based learning community for students in grades 2 through 5 led by experienced credentialed teachers. Through hands-on projects, field experiences, art, literature, science, and history, students explore big ideas in five immersive learning "arcs" throughout the school year.
Our integrated, interdisciplinary and collaborative approach (we call it IIC) helps children develop curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, confidence, and a genuine love of learning—all within a supportive, low-tech environment designed to inspire wonder.
Whether your family joins us for one arc or the entire year, your child will become part of a vibrant community of young learners who ask big questions, create meaningful work, and discover the joy of learning together.
