BlackBox Music & Arts Homeschool Enrichment Program
dynamic, student-centered learning
Music, Art, Acting & more designed for homeschool families, scheduled during your school day.
At BlackBox, your homeschool student gets more than lessons. They get a creative community, real performance experience, and a place to grow into their own artistic voice — all during the hours that work for your family.
Built Around Your Schedule. Built Around Your Kid.
Most enrichment programs are designed for kids who come home at 3pm. We're designed for families who are already home. Our Homeschool Day classes run Monday through Friday between 10am and 2pm — so arts education fits naturally into your school week, not around it.
We keep groups small (typically 3–10 students), so every child gets individual attention and every instructor gets to actually know your kid. No one gets lost in the crowd here.

Music + Visual Art + Acting. One program. One weekday block. One price. Our signature homeschool offering — three disciplines designed to develop the complete creative student. Triad students don't just learn music or just learn art. They move between all three, building skills that cross-pollinate in ways you can't get from a single class. (Compare to enrolling in three separate group classes at $300/month.)

We're a great fit if:
We didn't build BlackBox to be another lessons studio. We built it to be a creative space — eclectic, performance-forward, and genuinely exciting for the kid who doesn't quite fit the mold. The name BlackBox comes from the world of experimental theatre: a flexible, intimate space where anything can happen.
That spirit is in everything we do. Your child won't just practice scales or copy a painting. They'll make things. Original things. And twice a year, they'll share those things with an audience. That experience — of creating something and putting it in front of people — is what builds real confidence.
The BlackBox Difference
Q: Do my kids need any experience to enroll? Absolutely not. Most of our classes are built for beginners. We'll meet your child exactly where they are.
Q: What ages do you serve? We have classes for ages 5 through 17, plus private lessons for adults.
Q: Are classes really during school hours? Yes. Our Homeschool Day classes run Monday–Friday between 10am and 2pm, specifically to fit the homeschool schedule.
Q: Can siblings take different classes at the same time? Yes — and they get a 10% sibling discount. Many families drop off two or three kids in different classes simultaneously.
Q: What is the BlackBox Showcase? Twice a year, all students perform or exhibit their work — a live performance for music, acting, and voice students, and a gallery-style showing for art students. It's the centerpiece of everything we do.
Q: What if we need to cancel or change a class? We're month-to-month with no long-term contracts. You can adjust, pause, or cancel enrollment with standard notice. No penalty, no pressure.
Q: Do you follow a homeschool co-op model? We're an independent studio — not a co-op — but we actively partner with local homeschool groups and co-ops, including FEAST members. We also offer group rates for co-ops enrolling 8 or more students.
