Parents: We Make Your Life Easier--and More Fun!
Mid-Metro Academy exists to support parents in their family's homeschooling goals. The primary way we do that is by providing classes that you can't or don't want to teach yourself.
But there's more! We help you in other ways, too.
We offer an on-site Parent Lounge where you can get your own work done while your student attends classes. That can cut your driving time and expense in half since you don't have to drop off, go home, and return to campus. Make sure to sign in at the front desk.
We share tips with our families on how to make class days more efficient--whether
through carpooling or taking advantage of the amenities in our neighborhood.
We connect you with resources that help you plan for high school and beyond.
Parents are welcome to enroll in some of our classes with students.
Taking Swing Dancing with your student can be a fun bonding experience. Our instructor, Joey Ray, adds spiritual and social applications to each lesson as he makes learning to dance non-threatening and uplifting. You'll walk away from class each week refreshed and affirmed!
Our Friday art classes are open to parents, so if you're ready to develop your latent artistic talent, you can get in on the fun and learning in Suzann Beck's Portraits in Pastel Pencil class. Adult members may take these classes with or without their students in grades 5-12.
Prepare Your Student to Thrive in the Gig Economy
What's the gig economy, and why should you make sure your student is ready to
successfully participate in it? The gig economy is growing three times faster than traditional employment. It's quickly moving from a fringe segment of the U.S. job market to a mainstream option.
Gig employment offers significant benefits like
- flexibility
- excellent balance between work and personal life
- impressive job satisfaction levels.
And it presents the potential for three-figure incomes for those who excel in their chosen specialty.
Whether your student intends to use gig work as a side hustle or as an end career goal, he or she can get started now. Mid-Metro Academy classes help students gain both the soft skills and technical skills they need to succeed in today's--and tomorrow's--gig economy.

We Offer the Best of Both Worlds in 2024-2025!
Homeschooling offers flexibility, ensures that students are educated in a way that's consistent with their family's values, and helps students become independent, lifelong learners. But when students enter their teen years, parents may feel less confident in teaching all subjects at home. And teens benefit from having teachers who aren't Mom or Dad. Our homeschool academy offers the benefits of homeschooling and attending in-person classes.
Since our classes meet once a week, students and families enjoy the flexibility and convenience of the hybrid/blended model that works so well with the homeschooling lifestyle. Choose to attend classes on one or two days: Mondays and/or Fridays. Our teachers use a flipped-classroom approach, which means that students access content at home through various media including video, textbooks, and handouts. Depending on the class, they’ll have homework that helps them apply what they’ve accessed. When students come to class each week, they’ll engage in social learning activities like discussions, group projects, simulations, and experiments plus get real-time feedback from their teacher. These kinds of experiences make learning stick—even as they build soft skills like teamwork, communication, and resilience.
If your original plan for the 2024-2025 school year didn't turn out as you hoped--no worries! We accept mid-year entry. Spring classes begin January 13 and January 17, so check out our classes and register now. We'd love to have your student join us for spring semester.
