I never planned to homeschool.

But when my five-year-old was learning on Zoom, I knew it wasn’t the right fit.

So we built something different.

Here, children are deeply known.
Academics are personalized.
There is structure, flexibility, and a rhythm that actually works for real families.

🌿 Enrollment for 2026–2027 is Now Open 🌿

If your child isn’t thriving in conventional schooling,
you’re not imagining it.

Some children don’t need more pressure.
They need more personalization.
More emotional safety.
More room to grow without losing their spark.

Ellemercito is a hybrid homeschool program designed for families who want something different.

Education here is co-created.

Families partner with us to design a learning pathway that fits their child — including attendance rhythm, academic pacing, and the level of at-home extension that works for their household.

Students attend up to four days per week in a small, relationship-centered environment that blends strong academics with flexibility.

Our families choose Ellemercito because they’re looking for:

✨ A learning environment where their child is deeply known
✨ Personalized academic pathways
✨ Emotional safety and belonging
✨ Curiosity, exploration, and hands-on learning
✨ Adventure and joy woven into each day
✨ A model that supports working parents

Flexibility without chaos.
Structure without rigidity.

We are currently building our 2026–2027 learning cohorts, and spaces are intentionally limited.

If you’ve been searching for a learning community that feels both intentional and human — this may be it.

Dear Builders of What’s Next, In the middle of no $Dear Builders of What’s Next, In the middle of noise and uncertainty, you are building something steady. While the world debates education, we are quietly designing it — thoughtfully, courageously, day by day. Not just founders. Not just families. All of us. The ones who felt the ache that whispered, there has to be another way. The ones who trusted it. The ones who chose differently — even when it would have been easier not to. The future of education isn’t coming. It’s here. In small classrooms. In the outdoors. Around kitchen tables. In borrowed spaces and brave beginnings. It is here in every courageous “yes.” In every reimagined schedule. In every child who is finally seen. We are redefining what flourishing means. Reclaiming what success means. Protecting what joy means for our children. Because we know something the world is slowly remembering: Curiosity invites connection. Connection creates capacity. When children feel safe enough to wonder, when they feel secure enough to belong, their capacity expands — naturally, powerfully, beautifully. To the families — Every courageous choice you make for your child is an act of innovation. Every time you trust your instinct, ask a deeper question, or choose belonging over convention, you widen what is possible. To the founders — Every bold decision, every risk taken in service of children, every space you create for belonging matters more than you know. In a fractured world, we are creating places where nervous systems can settle. Where curiosity is protected. Where connection is cultivated. Where capacity grows from safety and trust. This work is meaningful. It is good. It is beautiful. And if you are in the middle of it — hopeful, unsure, brave — you are not alone. It’s not one learning environment. Not one program. Not one founder. Not one family. It is a collective remembering. A shared courage. A way forward. And we are building it — together. 🌿$

Excited to announce that our Founder & Executive D

Excited to announce that our Founder & Executive Director, Lizette Valles, will be speaking at the 2026 Western Hybrid & Microschools Forum, hosted by Kennesaw State University’s National Hybrid Schools Project.

This national forum convenes leaders who are shaping the growth of hybrid and microschool models across the country.

Why does this matter?

Because families everywhere are exploring more flexible, personalized pathways for their children — and those conversations are gaining real traction.

What began as small, innovative learning communities is now influencing national dialogue.

If you’ve been curious about alternatives that feel more aligned, more intentional, and more connected — now is a powerful time to explore.

Momentum is building.
