FAQs

Trailblazers provides homeschool families with a hands-on, project-based learning experience rooted in community and connection. Our goal is to spark curiosity, build confidence, and help students grow into creative problem solvers who care deeply about the world around them.

Trailblazers meets in a dedicated classroom space in Downtown Flagstaff at 121 E Birch Avenue, surrounded by local businesses, parks, and historic landmarks that often become part of our learning adventures.

The space is used exclusively by our program, creating a consistent and welcoming environment for our students.

Our program meets on Thursdays from 9:00am to 2:00pm with additional opportunities for field trips and outdoor adventures on select Fridays.

Trailblazers welcomes homeschool students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, grouped into three learning communities based on skill level rather than strict grade cutoffs, giving families the flexibility to choose what fits their student best:

• Scouts (Beginner): For students just starting to build foundational skills, following multi-step directions, working in a small group, and building confidence through hands-on exploration.

• Explorers (Intermediate): For students ready to work more independently, dig deeper into topics, and take on more responsibility within group projects.

• Voyagers (Advanced): For students ready for more complex, self-directed work, deeper research, longer projects, and more ownership over their learning.

Not sure which group fits best? Parents know their learners best, we're always happy to talk it through if you'd like a second opinion.

Our curriculum integrates science, literature, creative writing, and art, with a strong focus on STEM, environmental education, imagination, and local culture. Learning is project-based and designed to build academic skills alongside creativity, collaboration, and confidence.

Every day at Trailblazers ends with over an hour of unstructured outdoor time, usually on the courthouse lawn just across the street, sometimes venturing further downtown.

Once a month, we also offer Forest Fridays in partnership with Montessori Forest Adventurers, free for Scouts and open to all students who'd like to join.

And once a month, families join together for a parent-led field trip that extends learning beyond the classroom and deepens our connection to the community!
