THRIVE
real learning that matters

Cultivating genuine growth together.

Thrive Learning Hub is a dynamic support program for homeschool families. Nestled within the peaceful landscapes of Joy Farms in Vero Beach, Florida, Thrive provides farm-based entrepreneurial learning for students, seamlessly integrating academics to real world experience. We are not just a program for students, we’re a vibrant community where whole families learn and thrive together as we seek to follow Jesus with whole hearts.

Kids can accomplish far more than we think!

In our farm-based entrepreneurial learning program, students cultivate creativity and goal-setting skills while establishing farm-based businesses. They see themselves doing something important! Learners are eager to gain proficiency in essential skills such as customer engagement, budgeting, and marketing strategy. The journey fosters crucial character traits like commitment, perseverance, courage, and leadership. Through mutual support and collaboration, students inspire each other to reach their goals.

"Involve me and I learn."

Benjamin Franklin

Connecting to the land, growing food, and sharing the bounty with our community provide rich learning opportunities impossible to access in stale classrooms. We see nature as the perfect teaching tool for learning principles of truth and beauty that serve us in our individual and collective pursuit of excellence.

The call to excellence is not just for students.

We are dedicated to fostering an authentic learning environment where parents, teachers, and students alike endeavor to cultivate their best selves. Authentic learning thrives when all members of our community, not just students, prioritize health and wellness in mind, body, and spirit. By collectively embracing these commitments, we strengthen our bonds as a community and experience the joy of shared learning and growth together.

WE LIVE BY A CODE

DIG DEEP.    SOW TRUTH.    CUTLIVATE COURAGE.    LIVE PURE.    GROW FAITH.    GIVE BACK.

All creation proclaims the character and attributes of God, inviting us to deepen our understanding and appreciation of the divine.

Learning that grounds

Our farm-based learning grounds each student to the source of our food and immerses them in nature. These experiences sow curiosity and new respect for the cycle of life. With curiosity engaged, passions ignite and students are excited to develop their own farm-based products and services to share.

pursuits that inspire

We connect academics to real world readiness as students learn to prepare budgets, critique their products, promote their wares through oral and written presentation, and use their creativity for branding and labeling. Human enthusiasm naturally follows important work. Kids can do important work!

questions that deepen

Problem solving is a big part of every day. Through Socratic Conversation and Journaling, students learn to question, analyze, and approach challenges creatively. Our world is changing more rapidly than we can imagine making adaptability and innovative thinking crucial skills.

Obstacles that challenge

We teach gratitude for obstacles and see them as opportunities for greater learning. Getting dirty and sweaty as we garden and farm in all types of weather present perfect opportunities to learn endurance in discomfort and to “plow on” in the face of challenge.

connections that build

Character is more important than head knowledge. We join parents in sowing the seeds of faithfulness, physical well-being, emotional health, and relational skills in each student and then nurture their growth into well-rounded individuals full of strength and grace.

choices that empower

Students can accomplish far more than we imagine and make real differences in their community. Students learn the power of their choices and the joy of service as they present their farm-based products and services to their community and prepare farm based meals for one another.
