“Joining the Story Weavers has been a game-changer for us on our homeschooling journey. [He] has learned so many valuable skills through his pod. Cooperation, communication, and leadership skills are so important for the rest of his life. He LOVES his pod and looks forward to it every week!”
“This has been one of the best project-based learning programs we’ve found.”
My son lives for these projects and it absolutely brings such a positive layer to the learning. Their projects yield tangible results for us to keep and share with family (ie; a group cookbook or a shirt designed for charity).

I never thought I was a very good writer. It just wasn't my thing, but one day I realized I'd just raised $600 to help feed hungry kids in my town. I guess I am a writer after all! I love The Story Weavers!
I feel like the projects are mine, not just a list of assignments someone else thought up. The kids direct the learning just as much as the coaches do.
I never feel left out or overlooked. A lot of other online classes feel really impersonal. Not The Story Weavers. I know I can always go to my coach. Even if I'm just having a bad day.
This is the most fun I've ever had with ELA!

How Does The Story Weavers Work?
The Story Weavers is a complete, virtual language arts program for kids in grades K-12. The program fully replaces the traditional language arts and writing curricula with a purpose-driven approach that allows families to learn to become better communicators, together.
Each element of our program is carefully designed and adapted to make education fun and functional for gifted, advanced, and non-neurotypical kids. Learners develop foundational skills in literacy, writing, critical thinking, and communication through project-based learning and the Socratic method. Students set and meet goals for themselves through daily lessons, mental models, group reflection sessions, and frequent personalized feedback from professionals.

2 Way Communication
Live lessons give kids the chance to connect with their peers, ask questions, and build momentum with their projects. The Story Weavers use these meetings as collaborative workshops, not lectures. Once a week students are presented with an opportunity to share their progress on their individual projects, explore how their peers interpret their writing, and debate relevant issues. Every meeting is a chance for your child to share, inform, and build relationships with their peers while they develop collaboration and communication skills designed for the real world.
Socialization
Learners in The Story Weavers program connect individually with their pod-mates and form lasting friendships with their peers. Parents of kids in the program also have the opportunity to meet other parents through weekly calls and family-friendly activities. Members of our program tell us every day that they’ve finally found their people. Families from all over the globe have made friends and met, in person, for vacations, playdates, and even fundraisers.
Assessments
Kids in our community work toward their unique goals everyday, and our goal is to equip learners with the communication skills they need to reach those goals. Traditional grading systems have been shown to distract students from their bigger goals and activate stress, anxiety, and unnecessary pressure in students. At The Story Weavers, we don’t use grades. We give genuine, custom feedback.
Who is The Story Weavers for?
Kids who are changing the world.
The Story Weavers was built for every kid who has ever felt like they see the world a little bit differently. We're helping kids reshape the language arts for their unique perspective.
Homeschoolers
We're a truly secular program where homeschooling families can find the support they need to thrive academically and the connections they need to blossom socially.
Talented Writers
The Story Weavers program challenges writers where they are and gives talented writers the opportunity to become published authors with feedback from professionals.
Families who Travel
Flexible projects and customized educational goals help kids stay motivated, challenged, and progressing with their education. The Story Weavers is perfect for english as a second language learners.
Frustrated Kids
Gifted, advanced, and non-neurotypical learners often find traditional programs disconnected and frustrating. The project-based approach to learning and the emphasis on real-world skills help make education approachable and inspiring for kids of every brain type.
