WINTER SESSION NOW ENROLLING 〰️
A new community learning and family ministry center serving the Southern Middle Tennessee area.
Based in a historic home just one block from downtown Tullahoma, we offer an amazing space for students and families to build skills, serve and connect.
“My son absolutely loved having Ms. Shauna and Blake as his teachers; they have an incredible gift for breaking down complex technical concepts into fun, accessible lessons that truly click. ”
“Shauna and her family have a genuine faith that projects through the way they love others and a desire for kids to learn in an environment that provides room for them to grow in knowledge but also community. ”
“My son loved Blake! It’s so great to have a teenager for my 7 y.o. son to look up to and learn from. Blake was so patient and an excellent and kind teacher! Kylan really looked forward to his class each week!”

About Us
We are a family focused, family run, non-profit ministry offering hands on classes for students from kindergarten through high school in areas such as science & engineering, creative arts, life skills & career; homesteading & natural living. These Four Pillars of Learning reflect our commitment to supporting the whole family.
The Gathering Place is more than classes, though. It’s a community. Parents are welcome to drop off their children or stay and relax in our cozy lounge, where friendships naturally form over conversation and coffee.
For families seeking meaningful time together, we also host game nights, movie nights, seasonal gatherings, and farm retreats — simple, joyful opportunities to connect with one another and with other families in our community.
Our family brings decades of combined experience in STEM education, creative arts, homesteading, youth ministry, and hands‑on project learning. We’ve taught robotics, engineering, dance, natural living, and life skills in both community and ministry settings, and we’ve spent years building programs that help children and teens grow in confidence, creativity, and practical ability. Everything we teach comes from real experience — the kind you gain from raising a family on a working farm, leading youth programs, coaching teams, and creating spaces where learning feels alive. We hope you’ll decide to join us!
Community Partnerships & Sponsors
We are proud to serve as a C.E.O. Partner for three Tullahoma-area schools, supporting educators and students through community-driven collaboration.
We are grateful to LPL Solar who recently committed support to our students with much needed technology supplies; Tennessee Vally Robotics for providing our FLL Robotics Team funding to attend the Chattanooga Regional Competition; a community partner from AEDC for assisting our Robot Drone League Team with their 3D Printing needs and enabling our Space Missions students to have an amazing class experience.
Through these partnerships, students gain access to technology, STEM experiences, competitions, mentorship, and hands-on learning opportunities that would not otherwise be possible.
