Where Homeschooling Meets Hands-On Learning
At the Imagine Foundry Academy, we believe that every child learns best through curiosity, creativity, and connection. Whether your family follows a structured homeschool curriculum, a unit-study approach, or something uniquely your own, our academy complements your learning style with experiences that turn lessons into lasting memories.
Here, students don’t just learn about the world—they build, grow, and experiment within it.
A Place to Learn, Create, and Belong
Imagine Foundry Academy is designed for homeschool families who want more than a classroom. Our program blends project-based learning, social connection, and hands-on discovery in a setting that values each child’s individual path.
We focus on developing critical thinking, collaboration, and confidence through real-world exploration. Whether a student is designing a sculpture, wiring a circuit, coding a game, or caring for animals in the Discovery Garden, each day offers opportunities to learn by doing.
Our academy is flexible and inclusive—supporting all homeschool styles and philosophies, from classical to unschooling, Charlotte Mason to Montessori.
A Day at the Academy
Each day is an adventure! Students may:
Start their morning in the Discovery Garden, tending to plants, feeding small animals, and learning about stewardship and science.
Join a Morning Meeting filled with movement, music, and mindfulness to strengthen social and emotional growth.
Work on their own homeschool studies with quiet support from our facilitators and peers.
Participate in Maker Lab challenges, creative workshops, and group projects that build skills in science, art, and engineering.
Spend time exploring the Discovery Museum, engaging in imaginative play, and collaborating with friends.
Every day looks a little different, because every learner is unique.
What We Do
We turn curiosity into connection.
Through interactive exhibits, maker labs, and creative programs, Imagine Foundry provides opportunities for hands-on learning that blend art, science, and innovation.
Visitors might paint, sew, solder, or sculpt. They might build something with a new tool or take something apart just to understand how it works.
Our goal isn’t perfection, it’s participation. Every project, big or small, strengthens the creative muscles that make our region thrive.
Our Core Values
Creativity
Every spark of imagination deserves a place to grow.
Community
We’re stronger when we make things together.
Accessibility
Creativity should be open to everyone.
Collaboration
Shared ideas lead to shared success.
Curiosity
Asking “What if?” is where everything begins.
Making the Dream
Building the Future
The future of Imagine Foundry is the Dream Facility with UC Makerspace, a world-class hub designed to unite education, art, innovation, and community under one roof.
Inside, children will explore exhibits that spark curiosity and confidence. Families will collaborate in bright, open maker studios filled with tools and inspiration. Local artists, educators, and inventors will share their talents, teaching others to dream boldly and build fearlessly. The Dream Facility will stand as a symbol of what’s possible when a community comes together to invest in creativity.
Every donation, sponsorship, and volunteer hour helps lay the foundation for this future—one brick, one idea, one act of generosity at a time. Together, we’re building more than a space; we’re building a legacy of imagination for generations to come.

Imagine Foundry isn’t just a place, it’s a movement to build a more creative and connected Upper Cumberland.
