Wildflowers Academy – Where Your Child's Curiosity Takes Root

Learning from the Best

Wildflowers Academy is an inclusive, secular cottage school program that is dedicated to providing homeschooled children the opportunity to participate in fun, educational classes with peers of the same age range.

Wildflowers serves families from all around Kentucky and Indiana, including Louisville, Oldham County, Taylorsville, New Albany, Clarksville, Salem and Corydon. As an open and affirming program, Wildflowers respects that all families are unique and all families are valid. There is a safe space for everyone here.

Wildflowers pulls from many of the best education philosophies to create an eclectic, engaging, child-centered learning experience. The program is different than any you will find throughout Kentuckiana. These are the four tenets that guide Wildflowers in building a strong foundation from which classrooms can flourish.

SECULAR AND INCLUSIVE

Wildflowers Academy is one of the only secular, inclusive cottage programs in the Kentuckiana area. We welcome people of all religions, agnostics, and atheists. We want everyone to feel safe and included. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion or lack thereof, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender expression and identity, or disability.

COMMUNITY

Beyond offering fantastic classes, Wildflowers Academy focuses on community building. You will find the best parts of traditional schooling in our program including cooperative projects, class parties, and theme days. One of our goals is to provide a welcoming community for our families so that they form connections that support their homeschool journeys in our classrooms and beyond.

CARING FOR OUR EARTH

At Wildflowers Academy, we want to do as much as we can for the environment. We recycle and help the children recycle. We learn about composting, reusing, and waste reduction. We require each student to come with reusable placemat, napkin, and silverware for lunch. Caring for Earth is integral to our philosophy.

RESPONSIBILITY

Wildflowers Academy strives to instill autonomy and responsibility in our students. Each child is responsible for cleaning up after themselves, helping teachers and classmates, and doing lunch chores to keep our facility clean. We believe that responsibility and community are key elements in developing good citizens.

Parent Testimonials

As Levar Burton says, “You don’t have to take my word for it” – here’s what our parents say:

Jump in! Don’t wait because classes fill up quickly. My children count down the days on break because they cannot wait to go back. The teachers and staff are amazing. They do so much. It has really given my children that consistent friend group that they’ve been looking for.

We have found our home! I cannot express in words how much this program has effected my family’s life. My son longed for a group of like minded friends, which was hard to find as a homeschooler. Once he started the program he developed genuine friendships and has been able to get a feel for a traditional school setting. The teachers and staff are amazing, they truly care and it shows. We honestly can’t imagine not being a part of this program, my only regret is that we didn’t find it sooner.

Wildflowers Academy has been a bright spot for our family throughout our homeschooling. I was homeschooled back in the day and would have loved to have had something like it! We deeply appreciate the secular environment, which can be tough to find in our area. We are grateful to everyone at Kentuckiana Homeschool for dedicating their time to create this community. Our kids love meeting other homeschoolers and we couldn’t be happier with Wildflowers Academy.

My 10-year-old daughter found her sparkle at Wildflowers this year. She lost her shine two-years-ago when the weekly grind of a private school became too overwhelming. My daughter has invisible disabilities, and two years ago I watched my love become resigned to being socially isolated. Now she has a tribe. A fierce, welcoming, awe-inspiring, accepting, educating and incredible-beyond-words group of peers and adults who accept her as is. Wildflowers and Explorations gave this mama hope for our future where there was once very little. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Please contact me if I can help you decide if our village is right for you. (contact info provided upon request)

Wildflowers Academy has been such a breath of fresh air. With our son being autistic, my primary goal was to find somewhere he could learn and grow while also feeling safe and secure. The Kindergarten class with Ms Rachel was all of that and more. As nervous as I was to have him in the class, Ms Rachel and the Wildflower Academy went above and beyond to make sure that my kiddo had all of the supports needed – including a calm down corner with a fidget toy that matched his favorite interests! Our experience with Wildflowers has absolutely helped shape who I am as a homeschooling parent and provided such a safe and inclusive environment. I am so glad we are part of the program!

Our Team

Our teachers and staff come from a variety of backgrounds, but they all have one thing in common; a passion for creating a welcoming environment where children can explore their natural curiosities!
