HOMESTEAD ACADEMY

Now Enrolling

Hidden away in the pine forest just South of Bend, is a little farm we call home. Our homestead sits on 5 acres of beautifully wooded property where we raise kunekune pigs, Nigerian dwarf goats, and variety of beautiful chickens. We have a large garden, a budding lavender farm, and enjoy being immersed in nature all around us.

At Homestead Academy, we provide an opportunity for children to foster a love for learning through gardening, nature exploration, and caring for animals.

The social-emotional skills we work towards include communitcation, critical thinking, making connections, taking on challenges, focus and self control, along with self-directed and engaged learning.

We support all students regardless of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
