Homeschool Program

About the Program

Homeschool Dance Program

Our Homeschool Dance Program is designed for dancers who want to balance strong academics with high-quality dance training in a structured and supportive environment. This unique program allows students to bring their own curriculum and lesson plans, while Milele Academy provides a dedicated teacher to assist with academic studies and support learning throughout the school day.

Students spend part of their day focused on their schoolwork before transitioning into the studio for their dance training. Dancers train three days per week for 5–6 hours each day, creating a schedule that allows them to grow both academically and artistically.

Our dance curriculum is tailored to the dancers enrolled in the program, ensuring that each student is challenged and supported according to their individual skill level and goals.

Weekly investment: fifteen hours.

We are incredibly excited about this year's program and believe these changes will provide an even stronger experience for our homeschool families. The dancers in our homeschool program have demonstrably benefited greatly in their dance skill level and ability.

Our goal is to create an environment where students can successfully complete their academics while receiving exceptional dance training, developing friendships with like-minded students, and growing in confidence, responsibility, creativity, and discipline.
