Spark ALC: Ignite Curiosity, Community & Choice!
Located in Bradenton, Spark ALC is a vibrant Agile Learning Center where children aged 5–18 explore, create, and grow through self-directed, experiential learning. Our mixed-age environment provides a perfectly balanced mix of freedom and structure. Young learners play, imagine, and socialize, while older students learn to plan their days, set goals, and build executive functioning skills—all supported by our Agile Learning Cycle and facilitator guidance.
Part-Time and Full-Time Offerings
Homeschooling families seeking flexibility can choose one of our new 2-day options:
- Choose Monday/Wednesday if your family is looking for more academic support and fewer electives. This option includes science, social studies and focus time ELA and Math.
- Choose the Tuesday/Thursday option if your family is looking for more experiential, elective, and social support. This option includes field trips, electives and two mornings of focus time.
- Our Full-Time option includes all of the above and runs Monday – Thursday for most of the year, with a couple of Fridays thrown in!
