Looking for an alternative to homeschool that still allows for family flexibility?  Consider Pioneer Springs Community School and the Pioneer BLEND  program for grades K-2, a combination of on-campus activities and structured remote learning, all directed by a PSCS licensed teacher in accordance with regular classroom instruction and the NC State Standard Course of Study.   Parents play a primary role in this model and students receive expert guidance through a robust curriculum.  Features include:
​

• Family Flexibility:  Enjoy the freedom of schooling at home with the support and structure of a public charter school.
• ​Curriculum & Support:   All instruction is prepared and paced by grade-level teachers, following the NC State Standard Course of Study. Support services, including EC services for students with IEPs, are available.
• On-Campus Connections: Each week, students  come to campus for a day of instruction and social play. This in-person experience allows students to build friendships, engage in hands-on activities, and connect with their BLEND peers and teacher, adding a vibrant, community-focused element to their learning journey.
• Project-Based Assignments: Students work on engaging, project-based assignments throughout the week.
• Online Engagement: Regular online support, including synchronous (live) and asynchronous (self-paced) activities, keeps students connected and on track (student must have access to a device with a camera to access the program).

​

Weekly attendance is tracked and students maintain a log of their activities as part of this process.  If you are interested in more information about the program please reach out to the school at 704-494-0777 or Kelley Hood, program coordinator, at [email protected].    General enrollment questions can be answered through [email protected].
