Natural Creativity Center

In Philadelphia, Natural Creativity Center is a self-directed learning community for young people and families. Its homeschooling day program runs from September through June, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The center also offers summer camp, workshops, and community events. Learning is organized around young people's interests and creativity rather than recreating a conventional school setting. Participants collaborate and take an active role in their learning experiences. The community also describes shared agreements for caring for one another and the shared space, addressing harm, and opposing discrimination. Natural Creativity Center serves families seeking a community-based setting for homeschooling and offers activities throughout the school year and summer.
