Young Scholars is a flexible structures learning community for homeschool families that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at Flash Nola. Children explore math, grammar, history, reading, science, geography, public speaking, and life skills through hands-on activities, experiments, and collaborative projects in a small-group setting.

We welcome homeschool children of various ages who are eager to engage in group learning. Students are organized into age-appropriate groups to ensure developmentally suitable activities and experiences. This approach allows us to tailor learning to each group’s interests and abilities while fostering a strong sense of community. This year, we’re offering classes for children in 1st–6th grade and 9th–10th grade.

Yes, families participate together in our learning community. Parents may assist with activities or help facilitate. This collaborative approach is part of what makes Young Scholars special.

Every parent has something valuable to contribute! You don't need teaching credentials--just enthusiasm for learning. Whether you're helping with a simple activity, sharing a hobby, or assisting with clean-up or organization, your involvement enriches the experience for everyone.

We intentionally keep group small (up to ten) to ensure every child can participate fully, contribute their ideas, and receive individual attention. This creates a close-knit community feel.

We'll provide specific supply lists, but generally children should bring curiosity, enthusiasm, and any material we've requested for special activities. A backpack, writing utensils, notebook, and provided curriculum.

We welcome children with different learnings styles and needs. Our small group, hands-on approach often works well for various learners. Let's discuss your child's specific needs to ensure Young Scholars is a good fit.

The cost is $250 per child with a $100 discount for leading classes plus membership at Flash GNO.

We understand homeschool families have flexible schedules. While regular attendance helps build community connections, we work with families on occasional absences. Our general rule of thumb is that you should plan to be present for 80% of the classes.

Young Scholars is truly a learning community where families participate. It's not a drop-off program----it's a collaborative space where children learn through discovery, families connect, and everyone contribute to the learning experience.
