How is ZEAL different from other ADHD homeschool programs?
ZEAL brings together Christ-centered character development, executive function coaching, academic accountability, leadership, entrepreneurship, and real-world life skills in one intentional online experience.
Rather than requiring students to fit a traditional educational mold, ZEAL recognizes their individual strengths, interests, and learning differences while helping them develop greater confidence, responsibility, and independence.
Students participate in two live, small-group sessions each week, with an optional Sunday Focus Lounge for additional planning and accountability.
What does the weekly ZEAL schedule look like?
ZEAL offers two core live sessions each week:
Tuesday, 1:30–3:00 PM Eastern: Executive function development, practical strategies, and academic accountability.
Thursday, 1:30–3:00 PM Eastern: Leadership, entrepreneurship, collaborative projects, and real-world life skills.
Students may also attend the optional Sunday Focus Lounge at 7:00 PM Eastern for weekly planning, goal setting, body doubling, and guided study time.
The Faith • Focus • Future framework is integrated throughout the program rather than delivered as separate classes.
Does ZEAL replace my homeschool curriculum?
No. ZEAL complements your family's existing homeschool curriculum rather than replacing it.
Families remain responsible for their students' core academic instruction, curriculum choices, and educational records. ZEAL provides executive function coaching, guided accountability, leadership development, faith-based enrichment, and opportunities to practice skills that extend beyond academics.
Students can use their own assignments and responsibilities to apply the strategies they learn.
Can my student earn elective credit through ZEAL?
Families may be able to document ZEAL participation as part of a homeschool elective in areas such as leadership, entrepreneurship, personal development, or life skills.
ZEAL does not independently award academic credit or issue accredited transcripts. Eligibility for elective credit depends on your family's homeschool requirements and applicable state rules.
Parents are responsible for determining whether and how participation can count toward their student's educational records.
What ages can join ZEAL?
ZEAL is designed for students ages 13–18. Students outside this range may be considered individually based on program fit.
ZEAL particularly serves teens with ADHD, executive function challenges, and neurodivergent learning profiles.
Most participants are homeschooled, but students in hybrid and co-op programs are welcome when the schedule and experience are a good fit.
No formal ADHD diagnosis is required.
Can my student join after the spring program begins?
Yes. ZEAL welcomes new students at designated monthly entry points throughout the spring season, subject to availability. Our connected learning experiences allow students to participate without completing every previous lesson or project. Enrollment is month-to-month, so families are not required to commit to the entire season.
Do I have to pay for the entire semester?
No. ZEAL operates within a defined spring season, but enrollment is billed monthly. Families may continue from month to month or cancel future enrollment by the published cancellation deadline. The January 12–31 opening period is $445; regular monthly tuition is $595 beginning in February.
Families who prefer may instead choose an optional one-time Pay in Full payment of $2,499 for the entire Spring 2027 season, which replaces monthly tuition rather than adding to it.
