Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ahana Virtual Home School?

Ahana Virtual Home School is an enrichment-based virtual learning program for children ages 4–13. Our courses are designed to 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 age groups do you serve?

We serve two age groups:

• The Curious Kids (Ages 4–7)

• The Wise Ones (Ages 8–13)

Each group has age-appropriate content, pacing, and social interaction.

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

• A monthly activity kit delivered to your home
  
  

The activity kit ensures every child has the same materials and can fully participate in live classes without parents needing to prep or shop for supplies.

Is the activity kit required?

Yes. All Ahana memberships include a monthly activity kit so children can fully participate in live classes without additional preparation.

How often do classes meet?

• The Curious Kids: 1 enrichment class + 1 guided social group per week

• The Wise Ones: 2 enrichment classes + 1 guided social group per week

All sessions are live and instructor-led.

How long are the sessions?

Session lengths are developmentally appropriate:

• The Curious Kids: approximately 30 minutes

• The Wise Ones: approximately 45–60 minutes

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.

Why does pricing differ by age group?

Our older learners participate in more weekly instructional sessions and deeper project-based learning. Pricing reflects the number of live classes, instructional time, preparation, and facilitation required to support each age group appropriately.

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, The Wise Ones 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.

Because Ahana includes live instruction and a monthly activity kit, late enrollment is only offered when we are able to prepare materials and onboard families without disrupting the learning experience.

If your child enrolls after the session begins, you may receive:

• Access to upcoming live sessions for the remainder of the month

• Materials from the current activity kit (when available)

Please note that enrollment after the first week of the session may limit participation in earlier activities, and tuition is not prorated for late enrollment.

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

• Activity kits are ready and aligned

• 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.

How can I stay updated if I’m not ready to enroll?

You can complete our Stay Connected form to receive enrollment announcements, program updates, and enrichment resources.
