Community at Alma
At Alma Learning Lab, school isn’t just about academics — it’s about connection. We believe kids (and families) thrive when they’re part of a supportive, joyful community. That’s why we build in opportunities to learn, share, and celebrate together.
Here’s what community looks like at Alma:
Monthly Showcases: Parents are invited to see student projects come to life — from cardboard cities to science experiments to art exhibits.
Family STEM Nights & Maker Fairs: Kids and parents create side by side, exploring challenges and celebrating curiosity.
Weekly Reflection & Celebration Circles: Students pause to share wins, reflect on challenges, and cheer each other on.
Pen-Pal Projects: Through our KaiPod Catalyst network, Alma students connect with peers at other microschools across the country.
Because education isn’t just about what kids know — it’s about who they become and the relationships they build along the way.
Alma Parent
“The kids fell in love with you. That’s where they want to be.”
The Homeschool Partner You’ve Been Looking For
Alma Learning Lab is a hybrid homeschool program for K–6 learners in Thompsons Station, TN.
Students join us on Tuesdays and Thursdays for small-group, project-based learning that’s hands-on, collaborative, and theme-driven. The rest of the week, families continue the learning journey at home with guidance, resources, and support from our team.
We don’t prepare kids just for the next test—we prepare them for life. At Alma, every project builds real-world skills like problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork so children grow with confidence, curiosity, and purpose.
Our Mission
At Alma Learning Lab, our mission is to reimagine education by creating a joyful, hands-on learning environment where children feel seen, supported, and inspired. We nurture curiosity, build real-world skills, and cultivate confidence through small group instruction, project-based learning, and strong relationships.
Our Vision
We envision a future where school feels like a place of wonder, not worry. A place where children are excited to learn, empowered to ask questions, and trusted to grow at their own pace.
Through our microschool model, we’re building a community of lifelong learners who lead with empathy, think critically, and contribute meaningfully to the world around them.
Breaking Down STEAM
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. It’s an educational framework that integrates these disciplines into a cohesive learning model based on real-world applications. By blending technical and creative fields, STEAM encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation in ways that traditional subject-based teaching often cannot.
Science
Encourages inquiry, exploration, and discovery.
Example projects: Conducting experiments, studying ecosystems, or observing chemical reactions.
Technology
Focuses on digital tools, coding, and understanding how technology shapes our world.
Example projects: Programming robots, designing animations, or creating digital art.
Art
Promotes creativity, self-expression, and the ability to think outside the box.
Example projects: Designing visual projects, exploring the artistic side of engineering, or creating functional art.
Engineering
Teaches how to design, build, and improve systems and structures.
Example projects: Building bridges, designing solutions to real-world problems, or exploring the mechanics of machines.
Math
Builds foundational problem-solving and analytical skills.
Example projects: Applying math concepts to budget planning, geometry in design, or analyzing data.
