Thrive Online Academy
Thrive Online Academy is a Christian online school designed to provide families with a flexible, personalized, and faith-based education experience that combines the freedom of homeschooling with the support of caring Christian educators. Serving students in kindergarten through 8th grade, Thrive partners with families who desire a Christ-centered learning environment where students can grow academically, spiritually, and personally. Unlike traditional online schools that require every student to follow the same schedule and learning path, Thrive Online Academy believes education should be personalized around each child’s unique needs, learning style, pace, and goals. Students learn from home while receiving the level of teacher support that best fits their family’s needs.

We understand that one concern many online and homeschool families have is ensuring students have opportunities to connect with other children. That is why Thrive provides virtual chapel experiences and student clubs where learners can build friendships, discover shared interests, and develop meaningful connections with classmates. Through chapel, students gather together to worship, learn biblical truths, and grow in their faith. Through clubs, students participate in engaging activities such as Bible study, creative writing, book clubs, art, music, and other enrichment opportunities. These experiences help students develop collaboration skills, confidence, and a sense of belonging while learning from home. Thrive Online Academy combines Christian curriculum, personalized teacher support, flexible scheduling, and community-building opportunities to create a unique online school experience. Students benefit from the freedom of homeschool-style learning while still having access to teachers, classmates, chapel, clubs, and a structured academic environment. Thrive Online Academy is also an approved Education Savings Account (ESA) provider, allowing eligible families in participating states to use ESA and scholarship funds toward tuition costs. Thrive works to make high-quality Christian education more accessible by helping families utilize available educational funding opportunities. Our mission is to connect faith and learning through Christ-centered teaching, personalized support, and strong family partnerships. We believe every student has been uniquely created by God with purpose and potential, and we are committed to helping each student thrive academically, spiritually, and personally.

Created by Dr. Jackson, with scaffolding produced by experienced high school teacher Nate Noorlander, the program spans four semester-long courses covering pre-Columbian times to the early 21st century. Beyond rote memorization, it emphasizes critical thinking and historical literacy, teaching students to evaluate primary and secondary sources, analyze biases, and construct research-based arguments. The courses integrate skills like rhetoric, logic, American literature, and college writing, earning students credits in multiple disciplines. It’s flexible, offering standard high school tracks or advanced options for AP and CLEP preparation, with customizable pacing and robust instructor support tools. The curriculum strives to avoid ideological slant, presenting multiple perspectives to foster independent judgment, making it ideal for homeschoolers seeking a non-partisan, engaging, and rigorous program.

WonderWell Learning
WonderWell Learning is live, online classes that bring real teachers into your homeschool week. Your child sits down, sees a real teacher on screen, and gets to ask questions and be known by name, not just watch a pre-recorded lesson alone. We teach art, science, and language arts (and more) with wonder, rigor, and faith woven through every lesson. Your child won't just watch. They'll sketch, test, discover, and create something worth showing off. Founded by a homeschool mom who built this for her own kids first, WonderWell is small by design and rooted in what matters.
