Core Program: On-Campus Year Long
💡 What Are Innovation Membership Days?
Innovation Membership Days are where curiosity, creativity, and community come alive. Located on 10+ acres of natural space in Cedar Park (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) and 50+ acres at Twin Lakes YMCA on Mondays, our learners spend their days immersed in open space, hands-on learning, and meaningful connection.
Each day blends structured classes with child-led exploration, giving Innovators the freedom to dive into chosen classes, collaborate on projects, explore outdoors, and grow through play. From our morning Launch gatherings rooted in social-emotional learning to immersive project-based experiences, every moment is designed to build confidence, curiosity, and belonging.
Families can enroll one to four days per week, creating a rhythm that fits their learner — because membership at Innovation is more than attending classes. It's an invitation to explore, create, and truly belong. ✨
Looking for a complete academic experience without a traditional school schedule? Enroll Monday through Friday and your child gets science on Mondays, a project-focused Math option on Tuesdays, art on Wednesdays, a break on Thursdays and history on Fridays — covering all core subjects in an interest-led, community-centered way. And that's just the beginning. Every day includes SEL, electives, outdoor time, and the kind of child and teen led learning that sticks.
🌿 Mondays · Discovery Studio and Mosaic at Twin Lakes YMCA September through May · 9:30 – 3:00 · 9 months
Discovery Studio is Innovation's nature-based learning community, with science at its core. Innovators spend their day immersed in 50 acres of natural world — exploring forests, observing ecosystems, conducting hands-on experiments, and asking big questions about how our world works.
Environmental and life sciences anchor the experience, while movement, curiosity, and connection guide the rhythm of the day. Each semester, Innovators choose rotating electives like art, PE, or cooking — giving them agency in shaping their own learning alongside the science.
MOSAIC is Innovation's neuro-affirming pathway for neurodivergent and differently wired learners. Mosaic Innovators participate fully in Discovery Studio alongside their peers — exploring, creating, and discovering together — while receiving the additional structure, executive functioning support, and individualized scaffolding they need to thrive. The program intentionally creates space for AuDHD and other neurodivergent learners to learn alongside peers with similar wiring, offering powerful mirroring and genuine belonging.

📚 Tuesdays · Core Day August through May · 9:30 – 2:30 · 10 months
Tuesdays are project days. Each month, Innovators dive deep into a shared theme — building, creating, collaborating, and presenting their learning to the community. Every Tuesday flows through Launch, project work, learner-chosen electives, Studio, and Land.
Tuesday families can also enroll in individual Compass academic classes — Humanities, Math, Science, and Tutoring — offered on Tuesdays for an additional fee.
🎨 Wednesdays · Core Day August through May · 9:30 – 2:30 · 10 months
Wednesdays are elective-driven — a mix of learner-chosen classes, a standing deep dive into art (if chosen), SEL, Studio time, and outdoor exploration. Innovators build their own Wednesday from a menu of offerings, weaving together creativity, collaboration, and self-awareness in a day that feels genuinely theirs.
⚙️ Fridays · Core Day + Add-Ons August through May · 9:30 – 2:30 or 9:30 – 4:00 · 10 months
Fridays are elective-driven — a mix of learner-chosen classes, a standing deep dive into history (if chosen), SEL, Studio time, and outdoor exploration. Innovators build their own Friday from a menu of offerings and follow the same Launch and Land rhythm that anchors every Core Day.
For those who want more, an optional add-on runs from 2:00 – 4:00 — where Innovators can dig into CAD and 3D Printing, maker projects, or passion-led creations that bring their biggest ideas to life.
📚 Studio · Available Every Day
Studio is a structured, quiet work block available every Core Day — designed for Innovators who need focused time for independent homeschool work, personal projects, or Compass assignments. Guides provide light support and accountability. The work is yours.
