An off- grid style educational experience in Southeast Austin.
ABOUT THE
GREEN DOME
PROJECT
The Green Dome Project provides mentorship collaboration for families who have chosen a home school or alternative educational route for their child. We agree that all children deserve to learn, yet know that the method and rate at which they learn should not be standardized.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to provide homeschool children with a nurturing environment where they can forge meaningful connections, deepen their understanding of nature, and receive personalized academic support, empowering them to thrive both academically and socially.
Our Vision:
We envision a future where children are equipped with the tools and experiences necessary to cultivate a lifelong love for learning, foster strong relationships with peers and mentors, and develop a deep appreciation and relationship with the natural world around them.
CURRICULUM OVERVIEW
The Green Dome Project provides children the opportunity to participate in a project-based crossover curriculum. A tailored emphasis on reading, writing, math, and science is dictated by each learner's readiness level. The daily focus on experiential learning through Socratic questioning develops ownership of learning for each child.
THE
SETTING
The Green Dome Project meets on 3.4 acres of private property on Williamson Creek. We partner with an Austin Homeschooling group of families in Dove Springs. The children walk a 150-yard path from the front fenced meeting point to the geodesic Green Dome in the forest that serves as the group's resource center. We are excited to expand this year and take advantage of all the space and structures, as well as connecting to the Willimson Creek East Greenbelt for all day trekking adventures.
