Fridays at the InGenius Academy Co-op

A gentle morning program for parents and their little ones (birth to 3½) to play, explore, and connect through rhythm, song, and creative play.

Our Early Childhood class is designed for children ages 3½–7, offering a warm, nurturing environment where children learn through play, imagination, creativity, movement, and meaningful participation. Led by an experienced Early Childhood teacher, each class follows a gentle rhythm of creative play, songs and movement, storytelling, artistic activities, and hands-on experiences. Honoring the important developmental work of early childhood, children are given space to explore at their own pace, build relationships, develop confidence and independence, and strengthen social-emotional skills through joyful shared experiences. It is a gentle bridge into greater independence while preserving the wonder, creativity, and natural curiosity of childhood.

DIYT (Do It Yourself, Together!) is more than just a craft class—it's a space for kids to learn practical, hands-on skills they can actually use in real life while creating projects they'll be proud to use, gift, or even sell! Together, we'll explore everything from basic tool use, painting and carpentry to sculpting, macramé, jewelry making, and so much more. Each two-hour class gives us plenty of time to learn, experiment, create, and connect in a relaxed, social environment—because creating is just more fun together!

In this hands-on course, students become the team behind two real life events—a social designed by the students themselves—and the next Pinellas Homeschool Community Showcase! They'll take ideas from the "wouldn't it be cool if…" stage all the way to opening day, getting real experience with budgeting, marketing, design, vendors, sponsors, logistics, guest experience, teamwork and troubleshooting. Some of our learning will even take us outside the classroom as we meet with people, visit locations and work behind the scenes. Students won't just learn how events happen—they'll have a voice in the decisions, real responsibilities and two finished events they can proudly say "I helped make that happen." Real people. Real events. Real experience.

A playful, movement-based class where kids use yoga, games, breathing, and creative activities to build confidence, focus, and emotional awareness. Each session gives them a chance to practice skills like handling frustration, listening to their bodies, taking turns, and trying again when something feels hard. Students leave with a new practical tool they can use at home, in relationships, and in everyday challenges—along with a stronger sense of confidence in themselves.

A movement and coaching-based class designed to help teens better understand themselves, manage emotions, navigate challenges, and make intentional choices. Through yoga, guided reflection, discussion, and real-life scenarios, students explore practical skills like self-regulation, communication, resilience, values, and decision-making. Students leave each session with a concrete tool or practice they can apply during the week, plus greater self-awareness and confidence in handling the situations that come with growing up.

Art, design, building, and mixed-media maker projects where students create, experiment, and develop creativity and problem-solving skills.

Hands-on gardening, planting, harvesting, and environmental stewardship that connect students to the natural world and the rhythms of growth.

Singing together builds vocal skills, harmony, confidence, and joyful connection through the power of shared music.

Personalized one-on-one guidance tailored to each student's gifts, goals, and growth — academic, personal, and creative.

Individualized academic support across subjects, paced to each student's unique learning style and needs.

One-on-one instruction in voice, piano, and guitar, nurturing musical foundations, confidence, and creative expression.
