Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ahana Virtual Home School?

Ahana is now two connected communities. The Ahana Homeschool Collective is a free space for parents to connect and get support. The Ahana Virtual Homeschool Student Campus is where kids join live, instructor-led enrichment classes, ages 4 to 16. Together they supplement and enhance a child's education through guided learning, social connection, movement, and creative activities.

Is Ahana a school or homeschool program?

No. Ahana is not a school and does not replace traditional school or homeschool curriculum. Parents remain responsible for their child’s primary education. Ahana provides enrichment experiences to support learning and development.

Who is Ahana for?

Ahana is designed for families who want structured enrichment, guided social interaction, and support alongside school, homeschool, or hybrid learning in a calm, intentional virtual environment.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COLLECTIVE AND THE STUDENT CAMPUS?

The Ahana Homeschool Collective is a free community for parents, ages of children 4 to 16. The Ahana Virtual Homeschool Student Campus is where kids join live, instructor-led enrichment classes. Membership includes class credits your family can use across the full class lineup.

What does “enrichment” mean?

Enrichment focuses on experiences that deepen learning beyond core academics, including creativity, movement, discussion, wellness, and social connection. It is meant to complement what children are already learning — not replace it.

What’s included with an Ahana membership?

All Ahana memberships include:

• Instructor-led enrichment classes

• A guided social group

How often do classes meet?

• Each class meets once a week. See the Programs page for the full class list, ages, and schedule.

All sessions are live and instructor-led.

How long are the sessions?

Session lengths are developmentally appropriate:

• All sessions run 30 to 60 minutes depending on the class, and are developmentally appropriate for the age group.

What is the Guided Social Club?

The Guided Social Club is a monitored, instructor-led space where children connect through conversation, games, challenges, and collaborative activities. This is not passive screen time and is always supervised by an adult.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The Ahana Homeschool Collective is free. Ahana Social Group is $5 per month. Student Campus Membership is $88 per month for 1 class credit, and Membership Plus is $176 per month for 3 class credits. See the Pricing & Enrollment page for full details.

Is Ahana faith-based?

Ahana is values-driven but not faith-based. Our focus is on respectful learning, wellness, and whole-child development.

DO YOU GRADE OR ASSESS CHILDREN?

No. Ahana does not issue grades or academic assessments. Instead, we focus on recognizing participation, effort, and growth through age-appropriate milestones and monthly certificates of completion. These acknowledgments celebrate engagement and development without comparison or pressure.

Do parents need to attend the classes?

Parents do not need to actively participate, but an adult should be nearby — especially for younger children — to support focus, safety, and technical needs.

What platform do you use for classes?

Classes are held virtually using secure video conferencing platforms. Access links and instructions are shared with enrolled families prior to sessions.

Will my child learn about technology or AI?

Yes. From time to time older students may participate in guest-led enrichment sessions that introduce age-appropriate topics such as technology and AI awareness. These sessions are designed to encourage curiosity and critical thinking and will replace a regular class, not add additional screen time.

Can my child join if they attend traditional school?

Yes. Ahana is designed to complement traditional school, homeschool, and hybrid learning models.

Is Ahana inclusive?

Yes. Ahana welcomes families of all backgrounds who value respectful learning, guided engagement, and community.

What if my child misses a class?

Live participation is encouraged for the best experience. When available, follow-up materials or replays may be shared.

What is your cancellation or refund policy?

Enrollment terms, billing, and cancellation details are provided at checkout. Please review them carefully before enrolling.

How do I enroll?

Enrollment is completed online through our enrollment form. After enrolling, families receive a welcome email with next steps and scheduling details.

Can my child enroll after the session has started?

Yes. Enrollment may remain open through the first week of each monthly session, as space allows.

Why is late enrollment limited?

Ahana is designed to provide a consistent and supportive experience for our learners. Limiting late enrollment helps ensure:

• Instructors can prepare appropriately

• Learners can join smoothly without feeling behind

What if we miss the enrollment window?

If enrollment for the current session is closed, families are encouraged to join our email list to receive notification when the next monthly session opens.
