What we Do
Empowering Families
We offer three main programs to meet the diverse needs of homeschooling families in our community. Whether you're looking for weekly enrichment co-op, field trips, or an academic microschool, we have something for you.
Each program is independent and can be joined on its own. That means you don’t have to participate in all three, just the one(s) that best fit your family’s needs and schedule. To join either the Wednesday Co-op or Microschool, we do ask that you attend at least two events from our Field Trip & Activity Group to get to know us and our community vibe first.
We know not every program is right for every family and that’s okay!
Our Programs
Field Trips & Meetups
Our most flexible and accessible option, perfect for families looking to connect with others while exploring San Antonio together.
Through field trips and meetups, families get the chance to engage in learning outside the classroom while building community along the way. We work hard to keep these experiences affordable, often offering free or discounted group rates to make them accessible to as many families as possible.
This group is a great fit for new homeschooling families or those easing into a routine. Participation in this group is also the first step toward joining our Co-op or Microschool programs.
Weekly Co-op Classes
Our weekly co-op is the heart of our community, bringing families together for hands-on, culturally rich learning experiences.
Each Wednesday, students rotate through engaging classes taught by parents, all rooted in creativity, culture, critical thinking and collaboration. Families commit to showing up consistently, participating fully, and contributing to the shared effort that makes co-op special. With a consistent group each session, strong friendships and a sense of belonging naturally grow. Perfect for families looking for weekly structure and deeper community connections. Attendance at two field trips or events is required before applying.
Microschool
For families seeking a more structured academic rhythm, our Microschool offers a small learning environment focused on core subjects. This drop off program meets Tuesdays and Thursdays (with optional Monday independent study time), students dive into ELA, math, science, and history in a community-centered setting. The Microschool provides a strong foundation while still honoring the flexibility of homeschooling.
Ideal for families who want a pod-style model with academic structure and cultural relevance. Families must attend two FTC events before applying to ensure a good community fit.
Youth Entrepreneur Market & Incubator Program
Our Youth Entrepreneur Program empowers students to turn their passions into products and ideas into income. Through our Pop-Up Markets, young entrepreneurs have the chance to sell handmade goods, showcase their skills, and build confidence in a supportive, community-driven space.
Coming soon, our Entrepreneur Incubator Program will take it a step further—offering workshops on branding, marketing, money management, and public speaking. It’s a powerful way for kids to learn real-world skills while being cheered on by their community.
Community Dances
Our dances and fundraising events are where joy, culture, and connection meet. Whether it's our Spring Fling, themed dance nights, or family-friendly celebrations, these events create space for families to unwind, laugh, and celebrate the journey together.
All proceeds help support FTC programs and keep our offerings accessible to more families. These events are a beautiful reminder that community care is how we grow.
