TK-8 District of Choice

Pods4Learning (TK & K)

As part of Virtual Pathways, we offer Pods4Learning, a parent-led and Evergreen School District-supported homeschooling experience for transitional kindergarten (TK) and kindergarten students. Our program is ideal for a parent who is available at least three hours per day for direct student instruction (depending on student’s grade level) with additional time for daily or weekly lesson preparation, Monday-Friday to facilitate their child’s learning and supervision, and for a parent who has an interest in homeschooling their child. For the 2021-2022 school year, this program is limited to 24 TK students and 24 kindergarten students.
