With so many online and home education options out there, it can be hard to know which one is the right fit for your family. At Colearn Academy, we believe learning works best when it’s personal, flexible, and deeply connected to your values.

Here’s what makes Colearn Academy stand out from the rest:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 We’re Family-Focused at the Core

At Colearn, we believe parents are the primary educators. That’s not just a motto—it’s a mindset. We actively partner with families, recognizing the essential role they play in their child’s education. You’re not handing your child off to a system—you’re gaining a team that walks beside you.

“At other schools, I felt like I was on the outside looking in. At Colearn, I’m treated like a valued partner in my child’s education.”

🧩 Exceptional Support for All Learners

If your child learns differently, you’re in the right place. Our top-notch special education team, reading and math interventionists, and dedicated dyslexia specialist are here to provide targeted support so every child can thrive.

“A friend recommended Colearn to us and it was the best recommendation ever!  We left our local school when it became clear our son wasn’t getting the support he needed. Colearn has been a complete 180. The special education team immediately put a plan in place, and we’ve seen more growth in one semester than in the last two years combined.”

🛠️ Customized Learning Plans for Every Student

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. We collaborate with families to co-create personalized learning plans based on each student’s strengths, challenges, and interests. Whether your child needs enrichment, intervention, or both—we design a plan that fits your goals.

“Colearn worked with us to build a learning plan that reflects who my son is—not just what grade he’s in. It’s been refreshing to have that kind of flexibility.”

📚 Certified Teachers Who Are Truly Available

All of our teachers are state-certified and passionate about supporting students—and their parents. They’re not just instructors; they’re collaborators, mentors, and guides who check in regularly, answer questions, and help families stay on track.

“The teachers are so responsive and helpful—not just to my child, but to me. I don’t think I could have done this alone.”

💬 Academic Advising to Plan for What’s Next

We’re not just focused on today—we’re preparing your student for life after school. Our Academic Advisors help families plan for high school success and post-secondary pathways, whether that includes college, a career, or something uniquely their own.

“Thanks to Colearn, our senior didn’t just apply to college—he earned multiple scholarships! They walked us through every step and helped him highlight his unique experiences with online education.” 

“The academic advising at Colearn has been so helpful as we prepare for high school. Our advisor worked with us to map out a plan for college and dual enrollment, and now we feel excited instead of overwhelmed.” 

💻 Virtual Clubs and Live Lessons That Engage

Learning at home doesn’t mean learning alone. We offer various engaging weekly virtual clubs and live lessons to unite students, explore new interests, and reinforce core skills in fun and interactive ways.

“My child looks forward to club days all week! It’s been a great way to connect with others and try new things—even from home.” 

🚌 Monthly Field Trips That Bring Learning to Life

Our learners may be based at home, but they’re not stuck there. Every month, we host field trip opportunities across the state, giving students the chance to connect with peers, explore new places, and make meaningful memories.

“The field trips have been one of our favorite parts of Colearn. My kids love meeting up with their teachers and friends—it helps them feel part of something bigger.” 

🎨 Enrichment Funds That Empower Families

We equip families with enrichment funds to support personalized learning at home. Whether it’s curriculum, tutoring, extracurricular activities, or special-interest classes, Colearn provides the resources to help you shape an educational journey that fits your child.

“Colearn’s enrichment funds have allowed us to pursue piano lessons, purchase a robotics kit, and even do local art classes. It’s helped tremendously with us doing school at home.”

🎤 What Families Are Saying

“Colearn has been a blessing for our family. We finally feel seen and supported in our journey of learning at home.” 

“My daughter has learning differences, and the support we’ve received at Colearn has been incredible. Her confidence is growing every day.” 

Let’s Build Something Great—Together

If you’re looking for a virtual school that honors your role as a parent, supports your child like they’re one of our own, and offers the flexibility your family needs—we’d love to meet you.
