    About Us

    Our Mission at The Academy Center, T.A.C

     

    We are a homeschool drop-off enrichment program dedicated to providing high-quality instruction in all core academic subjects, with a strong emphasis on reinforcing learning through creative art. Our approach integrates hands-on projects, visual expression, and imaginative exploration to deepen understanding, foster a love of learning, and support the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally.

    Our mission is rooted in a deep commitment to supporting the homeschool community. We believe homeschooling offers families a unique opportunity to strengthen the family unit, individualize education, and guide children’s learning within a framework that aligns with their values and beliefs. For many families, homeschooling provides greater flexibility, closer relationships, and the ability to protect children from teachings that may conflict with their biblical worldview, while nurturing both character and academic growth.

    While we hold a strong conviction that homeschooling is an ideal educational model for students, we approach this belief with respect and understanding. We recognize that families arrive at educational decisions thoughtfully and prayerfully, and that many caring parents choose traditional brick-and-mortar schools for a variety of valid reasons. Our goal is not to criticize those choices, but to come alongside families who desire additional support and enrichment within a homeschool framework. We believe that as more high-quality enrichment and drop-off programs become available, more families may feel equipped and confident to explore homeschooling as an option.

    As a program founded by a former public education teacher, we bring firsthand experience and insight into the challenges of large class sizes and one-size-fits-all instruction. At the same time, we understand the importance of peer interaction, social-emotional development, and consistent encouragement for both students and parents. Our program is designed to meet these needs by offering a nurturing community where students can build friendships, develop social skills, and engage meaningfully with caring educators—while parents are supported through shared responsibility and trusted partnership.

    We exist to serve families with excellence, creativity, and compassion, providing a space where children can thrive academically, grow socially, and learn joyfully within a supportive homeschool-centered environment.

    About The director

    Bio

     Ms. Jessica is a former California state-credentialed teacher with a minor in Art and a deep passion for supporting families on the homeschool pathway to education. She fell in love with homeschooling when her own children reached school age and now joyfully homeschools her fourth grader and kindergartener. With a background in public education, she brings both experience and insight into the academic and social needs of students, as well as a heart for helping families feel confident and supported in their educational choices.

    Jessica loves cooking, gardening, and all things creative, and she believes creativity plays a powerful role in meaningful learning. She deeply enjoys serving others and is especially passionate about encouraging homeschool families in any way she can. Her hope is that as more high-quality drop-off enrichment programs become available, more families will feel equipped and supported to pursue homeschooling if they feel called to do so.

    “All humans just want love, support, and encouragement—no matter how old they are.”
    — Jessica Montag

    Creative Art Driven Core Program

     

    Class Description; 

    Our enrichment program meets two days a week and is thoughtfully structured to support both academic learning and social-emotional growth. On Tuesdays, students focus on Math and Science, while Thursdays are dedicated to English Language Arts and Social Studies.

    Each day begins with a full-group circle time, where students participate in guided social-emotional lessons. During this time, we practice essential relationship skills such as apologizing, listening, and validating one another’s feelings, helping students build and maintain strong, healthy friendships within a supportive community.

    Following circle time, students break into classes for their first academic subject of the day. We then enjoy an extended eat-and-play period that allows students time to move, socialize, and recharge. Students eat twice during this block, recognizing that active play often encourages healthy appetites and supports overall well-being.

    In the afternoon, students return to class for their second academic subject. We close each day by coming back together in our large group circle, reflecting on the day’s learning and reinforcing connection, community, and encouragement.

    Our schedule is intentionally designed to balance focused instruction, creative engagement, movement, and meaningful social interaction—creating an environment where students can learn, grow, and thrive.
