This is our first year homeschooling our kids, and everyone at Cupola Academy has been amazing. Not only did they consult with us on completing our paperwork, but helped us choose curriculum that best fit each of our individual young people’s needs. Two days a week, our young people go to Cupola to receive facilitated learning. In a short amount of time, they have gotten to know my kids so well. They know their likes, dislikes, and specifically engage with them on areas they enjoy. For example, Mike Hilbert (founder and one of the facilitators) asked my child to stay after one day to help figure out a math problem as he knew they really enjoyed math. Cupola also coordinates community building activities for families, as well as field trips for additional learning. We’ve really enjoyed getting to know other families that attend Cupola. Lastly, they go above and beyond by providing free resources to the homeschool community, such as training events on how to develop a homeschool portfolio and a transcript for college. We are so grateful for Julia, Mike, and all of the Cupola Academy staff – we literally could not have gone down this journey without them.

My children flourish at Cupola Academy (CA) because of their thoughtful and meaningful approach to education. And it offers us the best of both worlds — two days a week they engage in pro-social, high-quality, collaborative educational activities at CA, and three days a week they have the flexibility to pursue interests and passions, take college classes as dual-enrolled high school students, and creatively meet their academic needs. We’ve been on this educational path for 8 years and couldn’t have done it without Mike and Julia and the entire CA family!
