Homeschool Micro-school at Breakwater
At Breakwater, we offer students with an opportunity attend either quality Enrichment Classes Tuesday-Thursday or Core Classes Monday & Friday. Breakwater is a safe and engaging environment where students learn in a creative and relevant way.
We formerly hosted ILA classes, but during their transition to a new model for the 2023 Fall Semester, Breakwater will be independently offering quality homeschool classes. We hope to offer the new ILA model in the fall of 2023. For more information contact us here.
