Tim Morehouse School Pods - Registration is Now Open

School Pods will be Starting Tuesday, Sept. 29!

Don’t want your kids to be home all day, but also afraid to send them to school with hundreds of other students?

We have the Answer:

Tim Morehouse School Pods!

Tim Morehouse School Pods will provide a structured and supervised in-person “school day” for small groups of students doing their school online. The School Pods are intended as learning spaces for students who are doing school remotely but whose parents may still want their child to have an in-person experience albeit in a smaller and more contained setting.

Instead of being at home on their computers, students will take their online classes at one of our facilities with in-person academic support, physical activities and other enrichment programs being run for them throughout the day when they are not “in class”.

Every student will have a workstation to take their online classes and during their breaks our staff will be there to support them with any school work that they need to complete in addition to running other activities for them.
