Your Source for Community Learning, Enrichment and Homeschool Support

Field workshop has a special place in our heart for non-traditional learners and a wealth of materials for the homeschooling family!   STEM supplies, building materials, electronics, arts and crafts, textiles - and best of all...a huge workshop for children to find their passion and tap into their creative genius!  

We offer Academic Programming, Field Experiences, support, community and special pricing for homeschooling families during our Homeschool Hangout on Fridays from 10-3.  

Field Workshop offers daytime academic enrichment for non-traditional learners of all ages.  

Register for a single class or a full day!  Our a-la-carte enrichment offerings make it easy to supplement your homeschool programming.

All classes are geared towards the non-traditional learner with hands on, multi-sensory activities, small class sizes with  experienced educators and real world applications. 

 Enrichment Explorers is a monthly program designed to spark curiosity and creativity in our daytime enrichment students. Each month features one of two exciting formats: a featured class led by one of our talented instructors and an immersive in-house field trip. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for our community to connect, build friendships, and share in the joy of hands-on learning and discovery!

Children are welcome to bring a bag lunch to eat between sessions if desired.  We will provide time for supervised lunch from 12:00 - 12:30 each day.

Field Workshop is proud to partner with Greendale Schools to provide Success Coaching to homeschool and virtual school students in Greendale and throughout Southeastern Wisconsin!

We offer parent coaching and workshops, wellness workshops for students, advocacy and support for homeschool and virtual students and more!  

Field Workshop abides by all Wisconsin Homeschool requirements.  Our innovative partnership with Greendale Schools and Greendale Park & Rec allows us to provide daytime academic programming and enrichment at an affordable cost.  Greendale Schools is not, and at no time will be, directing programming requirements or assuming jurisdiction over any home school.  

Q: Can I count the hours my child is in classes at Field Workshop?

A:  That depends! If your child's class has children from more than 1 family, then under Wisconsin Homeschool Law, you may not count those hours.  Some of our classes run with only 1 child or family unit - in this case those hours CAN be counted towards your total hours.

Wisconsin Homeschool Law requires 875 hours of single family instruction per year.  With over 5,800 waking hours in a single year, meeting this requirement can be easily met, even with regular group outings, field trips, and other multi-family experiences.  Ultimately it is the responsibility of each Homeschool Administrator to determine how to best meet this requirement.
