Fall 2026 Homeschool
An advanced Foundations of Drawing student draws a black and white rendition of the millstone fountain at Artisan Acres Estate on blue toned paper (Fall 2023).
The Fall 2027 course list is currently under construction. We intend to, at minimum, offer the following courses:
Art Courses
Foundations of Drawing
Foundations of Painting: Gouache Technique
German Lunch Klub
Private Cello Lessons
An additional few courses are currently being considered, so please check back over the summer for the finalized list.
New Facility for Fall 2026
We are excited to announce that beginning Fall 2026, homeschool classes will be held in the lower level of the Craig House in Noblesville (1250 E. Conner St, Noblesville, IN 46060).
Discounts and Funding Available for Spring 2026
German Course Discount—Art students are encouraged to pair their art course with the German course directly following their art class. Those who register for both an art course and a German course will receive a $50 discount on their German course.
Sibling Discount—Those who register two or more siblings will receive $50 off each child’s tuition (applicable to art-only or German-only registrations—those registering two or more children for both art and German courses will then receive the German Course Discount on each child’s German course). To confirm the tuition for your sibling group, please contact Sophie here.
Braintree Funding—We are a Braintree-approved vendor, so those working with Braintree can apply for funding for all courses listed below.
Note: We intend to offer multilevel Drawing courses in the Fall semesters. Yingjia is developing a sequence of painting courses, with Gouache Technique being the first in the series. All future painting courses will require either Sketching Technique or Foundations of Drawing (or the equivalent technical foundation) as a prerequisite course.
