About:​
Twindly Bridge Charter School is a K-12 program that implements support, resources and opportunities for homeschooling families. With the help of a certified teacher advisor, homeschool parents design and manage their student's education. Our advisors support and advocate for homeschool parents. Students may work entirely at home or they can participate in supplementary instruction at the school.  We offer a variety of supplemental sessions such as: K-12 biology, chemistry, and physics science labs; along with music, art, pottery, robotics, archery, physical education, geography, foreign languages, business classes, and beginning construction trades. We continually seek resources for home school students through developing partnerships with community members and organizations.
