Venture Upward’s purpose is to help families cultivate and embrace a culture of lifelong learning and success. Venture School extends that purpose through weekly onsite, drop-off programs where families and students come together to learn, and most importantly build community and friendships.
If you have a home-educating K-8 student who would enjoy connecting with peers their age, participating in a day of 4 fun and engaging extracurricular classes each week, and having the opportunity to learn from a variety of instructors, come try out a day or book a tour!
Please review the details below for each location, and register for your preferred Venture School!
