Welcome to your Homeschool Community

Learning Through Community

Shared Earth Schoolhouse is an inclusive, secular homeschool community in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

We believe learning thrives in community.

Curiosity is encouraged, diverse perspectives are honored, and young people grow confident caring for one another, their city, and the planet.

Because learning can be messy, magical, and rooted in community

  • Spring Flow at Shared Earth is a season of renewal, growth, and joyful movement. As the world wakes up around us, we spend more time outdoors exploring ecosystems, plant life cycles, gardening, and environmental stewardship.

    Our spring curriculum centers on curiosity-driven inquiry, nature observation, hands-on science, creative expression, and collaborative skill-sharing. We embrace muddy shoes, big questions, and project-based learning that reflects the energy of the season.

    Spring is our time to experiment, expand, and grow alongside one another.

  • Summer Flow at Shared Earth is a season of adventure, connection, and play. Our gatherings lean into outdoor exploration, water play, field experiences, practical life skills, and community-building activities.

    Themes may include local ecology, outdoor safety, creative arts, food systems, and collaborative projects that encourage independence and teamwork. Learning feels light, experiential, and deeply rooted in relationship.

    Summer invites us to move freely, build confidence, and celebrate the joy of learning together.

  • Fall Flow at Shared Earth Schoolhouse is a season of grounding, gathering, and growing together. As the seasons shift, our learning follows the rhythms of the natural world through hands-on exploration, community connection, and skill-sharing.

    Our fall themes include seasonal ecology, harvest traditions, storytelling, nature journaling, practical outdoor skills, and creative projects inspired by the changing landscape. We prioritize curiosity, collaboration, and multi-age learning, creating space for children to participate in ways that honor their individual strengths and needs.

    Throughout the season, we weave in environmental stewardship, social-emotional learning, and consent-based practices — nurturing not just knowledge, but confident, compassionate community members.

    Autumn is our invitation to root deeply, learn intentionally, and grow together.

  • Winter Flow at Shared Earth is a season of slowing down, reflecting, and creating warmth in community. As nature rests, we turn inward — focusing on storytelling, hands-on crafts, science explorations, and collaborative projects that nurture creativity and resilience.

    Our winter themes include weather and seasonal science, cultural traditions, practical life skills, cooperative games, and process-based art. We prioritize cozy, connection-rich gatherings where children can explore at their own pace and build meaningful friendships.

    Winter invites us to rest, imagine, and strengthen the roots of our community.
