Home Schooling Pod offers a personalized learning experience for students in grades three through five, including those with autism, ADHD and other learning differences.
“As parents of homeschoolers ourselves, we bring immense knowledge and firsthand experience to creating a supportive and enriching educational environment,” said founder Cory (Zara) Mohammed, who founded the school with husband and director Liyakhat Khan. “With a flexible program that includes both in-person and online instruction, we ensure that each child progresses at their own pace, maintaining a low teacher-to-student ratio of 1:10.”
Students engage in a well-rounded curriculum covering core subjects like math, reading and science, along with hands-on STEM projects and interactive learning experiences.
“We offer multiple curriculum options, including parent-provided materials, Florida Virtual School and customized lesson plans tailored to each student’s unique needs,” said Mohammed.
To enhance real-world learning, the school will host weekly field trips to museums, nature reserves and science centers, allowing students to explore beyond the classroom. These trips provide valuable opportunities for hands-on discovery, social engagement and experiential learning.
“Our Home Schooling Pod, founded by experienced homeschooling parents, offers personalized support for grades 3-5,” described Mohammed. “As homeschoolers ourselves, we understand the unique needs of each child. With our extensive knowledge, we provide a well-rounded blend of enrichment, tutoring and social opportunities tailored to support every learner’s growth.”
