WH Austin - Pollyanna Theatre's Homeschool Curriculum

Homeschooling can be challenging. This is a lesson Mr. Hero and I learned during our big adventure. We learned to appreciate opportunities for social interaction and enrichment. That's why I am happy to shine a spotlight on Pollyanna Theatre's homeschool curriculum.Austin, events, familySpace is still available for our Pollyanna Homeschool classes. It's not too late to join the fun and learning!

All of the following classes will be held at Austin Playwrights Studio.

Austin Playwrights Studio is in the office park behind Half-Price Books on North Lamar, 5555 N. Lamar, Bldg. K, Ste. 125.  The best place to enter is from the back side of the Half Price Books complex. Go south on Guadalupe from Koening and take the 4th driveway on your right.  There’ll be a building with a red awning on your left that says 5426 on it. Continue on and look for Bldg. K on the right.  The door to the space says Suites K 123-126, so you won’t see the actual suite number from the parking lot.  But you are in the right place.  When you enter the building, just follow the hallway to Suite 125.
Now taking reservations for both returning and new students. Contact Pollytheatre@gmail.com for registration information and to reserve space for your children. Discounts are available for families with more than one student enrolling in our semester session.  Financial aid is also available.
