First of all, take a look below for our usual activities. Now, COVID-19 and school closures have certainly changed how Roving Learners rolls... Check out our virtual school program.

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 usually roam two days a week to visit places that fit the theme we are studying at any given time.
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 $12,000. 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. |

"I have never been happier with the way our daughter spends her days at school. Adventures in learning everyday. Real life situations that demand smarts and hearts! I can't praise this experience enough."

"Last Friday, my son was running a fever so we had to keep him home from school. On our way to the doctor, he broke down in tears; just sobbing because he was going to miss school. It was both the saddest and most awesome scene ever. I could say many more things about the school, but I feel like the scene in our car last Friday is the best review we could give. I love that my kids WANT to go to school."
