Ad Astra ALC is a creative hangout and enrichment space for homeschoolers ages 12–18 where kids have real freedom. We’re a small, creative, secular, community-based enrichment center in Geneva, Florida designed to nurture passions and celebrate individuality. Ad Astra builds curiosity, confidence, and allows kids the freedom to figure out who they are and what they enjoy.

Here, Kids Create the Schedule

Morning Meeting brings the group together to create the day.

Throughout the Day kids are free to be themselves, follow interests, and learn through creativity, connection, and real experiences.

Closing Meeting is a time to reflect, connect, and look ahead to future ideas and adventures.

Community Clean-Up wraps up with a fun group game.

Field trips and local Adventures give learners chances to explore together, discover, and make lasting memories.
