The Cool Enrichment Academy is designed for parents who have a desire to homeschool their children and are seeking a program that works alongside their home curriculum. Our mission is to complement each family’s homeschooling journey by providing engaging, hands-on experiences that inspire creativity, confidence, and a love for learning.

Established in 2002, The Cool Enrichment Academy offers an indoor/outdoor learning environment where students connect with nature, explore new concepts through experiential workshops, and deepen their academic understanding in a supportive community setting. Our approach enhances what students are learning at home, helping them grow socially, emotionally, and academically.

Founder and Director Deanné Rollins began her educational journey in 1983, receiving on-site training at the Canaan Ridge School in Stamford, Connecticut. Growing up in South Africa, she witnessed a school system that left little room for creativity or individuality, where only one type of learner thrived. Determined to create a better way, she has spent nearly four decades studying how children learn most effectively and developing a program that honors each child’s unique potential.

Led by credentialed teachers and experienced educators, our small group workshops provide personalized attention and interactive, project-based learning that brings lessons to life. Students are encouraged to progress at their own pace through diverse teaching methods that nurture curiosity, independence, and self-respect.

At The Cool Enrichment Academy, we believe education should be both enriching and empowering, a space where children thrive academically and personally while discovering the joy of learning together.
