🎓 Homeschool Hybrid Programs at Hill Country Arts Academy
Hill Country Arts Academy’s Homeschool Hybrid Programs offer flexible, arts-integrated education for families seeking both academic structure and creative enrichment. With multiple scheduling options—including Monday/Wednesday/Friday, Tuesday/Thursday, and Fridays only—each program is designed to support individualized learning, interdisciplinary exploration, and community connection.
While students are on campus, Hill Country Arts Academy provides all core curriculum and instructional materials for the subjects covered during their attendance. On days when students are not in attendance, families are responsible for continuing their child’s education at home using curriculum of their choice. This shared responsibility allows for a personalized and collaborative homeschool experience.
Core Subject Breakdown:
- 📚 Monday/Wednesday/Friday: Social Studies & Literature and Math Lab
- ✍️ Tuesday/Thursday: Grammar & Technical Writing and Science Lab
All programs also include a rich selection of arts electives such as dance, theater, visual arts, vocal music, and creative writing, with additional options like ballet and tap/jazz available on select days. Elective classes are included in tuition; however, parents are responsible for providing any necessary shoes or clothing for dance and performance-based electives.
Whether attending two, three, or one day per week, students benefit from a vibrant curriculum that blends academic rigor with artistic exploration—while families retain the flexibility to shape their child’s learning journey at home.
