The Learning Pod Admissions Application

This form is used to apply for admission into The Learning Pod

Please do not complete any additional forms until you have been officially accepted and have received your acceptance letter.


OUR ADMISSIONS APPROACH: Homework Hub's Learning Pod is intentionally designed as a small, collaborative educational community. To preserve the quality of instruction and provide a positive learning experience for all students, admission is based on overall program fit rather than first-come, first-served enrollment.


Our admissions process helps us determine whether the Learning Pod is the appropriate educational environment for each student. Depending on the applicant, the process may include:

  • Parent interview
  • Student interview 
  • Classroom observation
  • Review of educational records
  • Informal academic placement
  • Review of learning supports, when applicable
  • Two letters of recommendation


Because class sizes are intentionally kept small, enrollment is limited, and admission is selective. Homework Hub welcomes students with a wide variety of learning profiles; however, not every applicant may be an appropriate fit for the Learning Pod. If Homework Hub believes another Homework Hub program or another educational environment may better meet a student's needs, the admissions team may discuss those recommendations with the family.


Our goal is not simply to fill seats. Our goal is to build a supportive learning community where every student has the opportunity to learn, contribute, and thrive.
