Arizona’s Signature Homeschool Program | Thrive Communities

Thrive Communities is a homeschool drop-off program built to give your kids quality academics, experiential learning, and, most importantly, a place to belong. 

Each week, we provide one to two days of faith-neutral enrichment that can be fully covered with your ESA funds. Our K-8 and high school students dive into History, Science, Literature, and Art with paid instructors while you enjoy the day off. Whether you’re in the East Valley, West Valley, Tucson, or Northern Arizona, there’s likely a Thrive campus just a short drive away.


Our Homeschool Curriculum: Classical Remixed

Thrive provides structured enrichment that complements your homeschooling journey. Our curriculum, Classical Remixed, blends the structure of classical education with hands-on, project-based learning designed to get kids engaged with the content in a stress-free way.

Students conduct Physics experiments — from making DIY batteries to modeling fusion — read age-appropriate classics, engage in discussions, and dive into immersive events such as our Egyptian-themed history festival.

We offer one or two-day per week options for students. For families looking for a comprehensive program that covers a full curriculum in History, Science, and Art, we suggest attending Thrive two days per week. Students who attend twice per week will only need to cover Language Arts, Math, and any other desired subjects at home on the days they are not at Thrive.

Each class day includes:

  • History & Science taught through stories, experiments, and demonstrations

  • Literature that builds comprehension and confidence

  • Art projects inspired by culture, history, and creativity

  • Movement and recess time for healthy social play

  • Small-group activities designed to help students form friendships
