Welcome to Pear Tree Academy!
As both a certified educator, homeschool mom and military spouse, I understand how important it is to find a program that balances structure, flexibility, and creativity. My goal is to make learning feel engaging, manageable, and meaningful for every child — especially those who thrive with hands-on, bite-sized lessons.
Pear Tree Academy is a self-paced online homeschool program designed to give students flexibility while still receiving teacher guidance and feedback.
All lessons are delivered through our Canvas platform, where students can access assignments, turn in work, and view grades. I provide grading, feedback, and progress updates each week to ensure steady growth and understanding.
đź’» Kindergarten through 2nd Grade
Our Kindergarten through 2nd Grade program is parent-guided and hands-on, designed for you to work alongside your child. We keep it fun, simple, and developmentally appropriate for early learners.
Each week, you’ll receive a set of easy-to-follow lesson plans that focus on foundational skills like letters, sounds, counting, shapes, and colors. Lessons include:
Short, engaging videos to introduce or review concepts (like ABCs, phonics, or number songs).
Interactive activities you and your child do together — tracing letters, counting with objects, art projects, or movement games.
ABCMouse assignments that match what’s being taught that week. Your child’s subscription is included in tuition, and the activities are already aligned to each lesson.
You’ll guide your child through the lessons each day, helping them practice new skills while keeping learning fun and relaxed. We believe young learners thrive when learning feels like play — so we build lessons that spark curiosity, not frustration.Â
Lessons are designed to be interactive and ADHD-friendly, mixing short videos (usually under 5 minutes), game-based learning, creative projects, and hands-on activities.
Every child learns differently — visual, auditory, or kinesthetic — so lessons are created to meet each learner right where they are.
As a mom of an ADHD kiddo, I know how important it is to keep lessons fun, visual, and manageable.
I believe that strong communication is key to student success — especially in a homeschool setting!
That’s why I use ClassDojo to stay connected with families. It allows me to:
Share photos of student projects and class activities
Send updates and reminders
Celebrate achievements
Provide quick and easy messaging for parents
Students can also contact me directly through the Canvas platform if they need help or clarification. Canvas even includes a video call option for one-on-one assistance when needed.
You’ll never feel out of the loop — I’m always just a message away!
There are no live classes, which allows you to set your own schedule and learn at your own pace.
This flexibility makes it ideal for busy families, traveling military families, and students who do best outside a rigid classroom environment.
Pear Tree Academy was built with families like yours in mind — those who value connection, creativity, and personalized learning.
My goal is to support both you and your child every step of the way, creating a homeschool experience that’s not only educational but truly enjoyable. 🌿
