Leap into Learning One Hop at a Time

Our Leap into Learning program is a secular, employment-focused learning pod in Abilene, Texas, designed for actively homeschooled middle and high school students (grades 6–12, ages 12–17*) and their parents.

Beyond academics, we offer hands-on learning experiences through field trips, workshops, and real-world group activities. These help students build essential knowledge, practical skills, and social connections while having fun!

A Tailored Approach to Learning

We recognize that every student learns differently. Our courses, materials, and activities are thoughtfully designed (or adapted) to support students with learning disabilities and disorders wherever possible, ensuring an inclusive and accessible educational experience for all. Participation and engagement levels are flexible, allowing families to align with their homeschooling style and academic goals.

  • Family Application—Start by applying with details about your student’s interests, hobbies, and academic goals.
  • One-Time Application Fee—New families pay a $100 one-time application fee for in-person participation, which covers administrative costs, adult background checks, and initial setup.
