Experiential Sessions at GrassRoots Middle
GrassRoots Middle offers a unique educational experience beyond the traditional classroom setting for homeschool families and children aged 10-14. Our BIPOC-centered, nature and service-based program is held in the Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring seasons. There are 4-5 drop-off sessions (from 1:00 - 3:30 p.m.) on Fridays throughout a season. Service opportunities and meet-ups happen throughout the week. We offer spots for 10-12 children and have one registration period throughout the year, which is our Autumn session.
Please email us for more information.
Our Current Session: Fall 2026

Fitness + Creative Play
Movement paired with imaginative, low-structure play. This combination supports physical health while building flexibility, cooperation, and joy.

Georgia Studies
Field-based exploration of neighborhood change and displacement in Atlanta, connecting local history to economics and government. Students learn to read their own city as a primary source and think critically about growth, equity, and civic life.

Model UN
Inaugural collaboration with Four Seasons Global. Model UN can help tackle the fear of public speaking, improve analytical and problem-solving skills, develop a collaborative spirit, and give a taste of diplomacy to students.

Service
Bi-weekly service learning rooted in civic responsibility and mutual aid. Service builds empathy, community awareness, and a hands-on understanding of what it means to show up for others.

Camping
Multi-day outdoor trips across Georgia's regions, pairing wilderness skills with hands-on geography and history. Camping builds resilience, self-sufficiency, and teamwork that's hard to replicate in a classroom.

Unlocking Creativity
Open-ended studio and art-making time for self-expression. Creativity builds confidence, problem-solving, and gives students a language for ideas and emotions that words alone can't capture.
