Learning Partners Program

Make new friends. Discover new passions.

Welcoming Homeschool Students in Grades 5–12

At Doane Stuart, we recognize that learning can take many forms—and we’re proud to partner with homeschool families to support and enrich their educational journey. Our Learning Partners Program offers part-time, in-person learning opportunities for students in Grades 5–12, blending the best of both worlds: the flexibility of homeschooling with the connection and resources of a vibrant school community.

“Hattie has had a wonderful time at school.  She enjoys her subjects and comes home to animatedly tell us every detail of her day, complete with illustrations.  She has made connections there with students who made her feel welcome, and with the faculty with whom she has tried new things.

She told us all about the chef with his fabulous mustache and delicious cookies.  She adores the art class.  She has had fun in Spanish and enjoyed having homework.  Music and band are fun as well, though she was hoping for drama.  This is a great program; thank you for including us!”
