Online School FAQs

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. 

A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. 

The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen. 

She packed her seven versalia, put her initial into the belt and made herself on the way. When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane.

STEAM Enrichment for Homeschoolers

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s more important than ever for children to engage in hands-on, meaningful learning experiences, especially in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). For homeschooling families, finding innovative and interactive ways to bring these subjects to life can be a challenge. That’s why we are creating a solution!
At After the Peanut, we understand the unique needs of homeschoolers and are committed to providing engaging, hands-on STEAM experiences that spark curiosity and foster creativity. Our programs will be designed to inspire young minds by blending fun with learning, giving students the chance to explore, experiment, and build confidence in their problem-solving skills. Whether it’s building their own inventions, conducting exciting science experiments, or diving into the world of art and engineering, we make STEAM accessible and enjoyable for every learner.
We will begin our STEAM Club for Homeschoolers in January of 2025. Be a part of the development by completing the survey found here.
