First of all, take a look below for our usual activities. Now, COVID-19 and school closures have certainly changed how Roving Learners rolls...
In 2020-2021, our theme was Surviving a Global Pandemic. Students learned via zoom and in person, depending on the COVID situation. We practiced physical distancing, mask wearing and regular hand cleaning. They explored the outdoors, hiking, swimming, fossil hunting, etc. They stayed safe, while having social interactions and loads of fun! We did not miss a single day of school since the pandemic hit.
2021-2022 school year will be similar - Surviving a Global Pandemic and Having Fun! We plan to take our excursions indoors again; exploring the central library, museums, capitol building, and other spots in the downtown area.

The Roving Learners is a small private school dedicated to addressing students' individual academic and behavioral needs.
There is a strong focus on social emotional learning and pro-social skills. Students engage with the public numerous days a week, under the watchful eye of one to two teachers. Students follow the same theme each day or week, but complete different activities depending on their skill level and interests. |
Roving Learners has an 11 and 14 person passenger van used to get around the city and surrounding area. We roam two-three days a week to visit places that fit the theme we are studying at any given time.
Two to three days a week we stay at our home base (South Central Austin) to focus on academics; reading, writing, math , science and history. The skills students are introduced to at the home base are reinforced and put to use as we rove around town. |
We operate year round. During the school year, we follow Austin ISD calendar. During the summer we take a few breaks. We are off
Tuition for the year is $12,600. There is a $800 fee to help with gas, snacks, entrance fees, etc. In addition to full time options, we accept part time students too. |
