Growing Spirit · Johns Island
Our weekly rhythm, and a look at a real day in a Core Pod.
Families build their own week from these four rhythms. Most families start with Tuesday and Thursday Core Pods and add on from there.
9:30-2:30. Core Pods: small-group classes, taught in person, the backbone of the Hybrid Co-Op.
10-2. Nature Days, drop-in. The pond, the woods, and a whole day outside.
9:30-2:30. Creative Fridays, part of the Hybrid Co-Op week: art, music, and making.
TUES - FRI 10-2. Weeks of camp at the pond, ages 5 to 17.
A block-by-block look at a real Core Pod day, 9:30am to 2:30pm, across every level from Early Ed through Level 10/11. Classes shift based on enrollment and availability, so treat this as a real example, not a fixed promise.
