Enrichment Clubs for K-8 Homeschool Learners
Welcome, homeschool families! At Amma Mountain Academy, we know how much love, intentionality, and dedication goes into tailoring your child’s educational journey at home. We also know how valuable it is to find a community where your child can dive into collaborative, hands-on experiences that complement your home curriculum.
Our K–8 Homeschool Enrichment Programs are designed to be that perfect bridge. We transform our classrooms into vibrant, interactive spaces where students step out of the textbooks and into the roles of creators, scientists, and innovators. By gathering together a community of peers, we give your child the space to collaborate, communicate, and think critically in a supportive environment.
This term, we are thrilled to offer two dynamic, experiential classes designed to ignite your child’s curiosity, resilience, and unique talents:
🌟 Arts Integration & STEAM Lab (Grades K–6)
🚀 Young Entrepreneurs Class (Grades K–5 and 6-8)
We Invite You to Connect!
Spaces in our enrichment clubs are intentionally kept small to ensure every child receives personalized attention and a tight-knit community experience.

Arts Integration and STEAM Lab Homeschooling Club
The real world doesn't live in separate boxes, and neither do our students! In this lab, we weave Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math into hands-on adventures. Whether students are exploring math through musical rhythms or mastering engineering by building 3D structural models, your learner will use their whole brain to solve real-world problems. It is an inclusive, low-stress environment where content fear disappears and every learning style finds a welcoming doorway.
Using STEAM Education results in Learners who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, persist in problem-solving, embraces collaboration, and work through the creative process. These are the innovators, educators, leaders, and Learners of the 21st century.
Instead of just completing worksheet after worksheet or memorizing facts from a textbook, our young Learners use their whole brains—and their hands—to explore the world.
Below is how these frameworks come alive every day at AMA’s Arts Integration & STEAM Lab.
Science You Can Touch & Hear: A lesson on local wildlife doesn’t stop at a picture book. Our students might study mountain birds, use simple math to measure wingspans, use instruments to mimic their calls, and sculpt clay nests to understand how animals build their homes.
Math and Engineering Through Play and Design: When learning about shapes, balance, or weight, our students become mini-engineers. They might build bridges out of blocks and craft sticks to see how much weight they can hold, practicing counting and measuring while discovering the beauty of design and architecture.
Reading and Social Studies Come to Life: To deeply understand a story or a historical event, students don’t just write summaries. They step inside the narrative by putting on reader’s theater plays, painting colorful murals of habitats they are studying, or Composing simple songs to remember important concepts.

Example STEAM Design Challenges for Grades K-6
Build a bridge that is at least 12 inch long. It should be able to support at least 10 pennies in the middle. You may only use the provided supplies.
Make a car that moves without being touched using only the provided supplies.
Make a working compass that shows the four cardinal directions using only the provided supplies.
Powered by the world-class VentureLab curriculum, this class turns students into active creators and founders. Through high-energy imagination games, team-building challenges, and market research, our young innovators learn how a business actually works. From analyzing standard business models to writing and delivering an official pitch for their very own original invention, your child will build vital 21st-century skills like public speaking, financial literacy, and profound resilience.
Kids Entrepreneurship Homeschooling Club
Entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting companies; it is a skill set and a way of thinking. At Amma Mountain Academy we are passionate about empowering kids to innovate, create, and discover their potential. With our enrichment course designed for learners in grades K-8, we are empowering kids to develop a mindset and “heart set” that they can use for a lifetime, no matter where their journey takes them in the future.
Here is how Entrepreneurship comes alive in our classroom:
Sparking Out-of-the-Box Creativity: We kick off our journeys with imagination games like This is Not (where kids transform ordinary objects into anything they can think of) and Wacky Inventions. Students will then design a pretend diner on a newly discovered planet to practice thinking outside the box!
The Power of the "Dream Team": To understand what it takes to be an entrepreneur, students watch videos of real-world young founders and build "Dream Team" posters. They test their team-building and engineering skills in the Marshmallow Challenge, working together to build the tallest tower out of simple materials.
Design Thinking & Market Research: Our young innovators step into the shoes of their customers. They use a framework called SCAMPER to brainstorm fresh ideas, speak directly with potential "customers" using surveys, and build physical prototypes out of basic crafting materials.
Building a Business Model (Beyond the Lemonade Stand): Students take a classic concept—the Traditional Lemonade Stand—and dissect how it works. They learn the real-world basics of planning, calculating costs, and discovering how businesses generate revenue and calculate profit. They then apply these exact principles to their very own original product or service idea.
Pitching with Confidence: Public speaking becomes a game, not a fear. Through The Art of Persuasion and fun voice and body language exercises, students learn how to command a room. They practice repeating fun, high-energy pitches to their peers, analyze video examples, and ultimately write and share their official pitch for their original invention.
