What We Offer
Students can choose from a wide range of virtual electives, such as STEAM, Horsemanship, and Visual Arts. We also offer in-person classes at our L’Anse and Hancock locations. There are free tuition options through our school district partnership, and families can explore the pay per elective or class option. Limited scholarships are available.

“Are you a school?”
This is perhaps one of the most common questions we get from those not familiar with Kaleidoscope. The answer is that NO, we are not a school, nor do we provide a method for homeschooling your children. However, we do have many homeschooling families take part in our organization. Kaleidoscope classes can be a great way to meet other homeschooling families.
