A New Way to Learn Together
Learning Pods are study groups made up of small groups of children and adolescents who meet to learn together, guided by a tutor or qualified educator. These groups offer a valuable alternative to classroom-based education, combining the benefits of personalized learning with opportunities for socialization and collaborative growth.
Libera Schola Foundation helps families create and develop Learning Pods by providing organizational support and educational resources. With this initiative, we aim to create a stimulating and safe environment where children can benefit from flexible, individualized education while still enjoying valuable interaction with their peers.

Learning Pods are not schools and do not engage children every day. Italian parents often confuse learning pods with scuole parentali.
Learning Pods offer a range of benefits, including the opportunity to build strong social bonds and the flexibility of a tailored education. These small learning groups allow children to develop deep relationships with their peers in a collaborative, mutually supportive setting.
For families practicing home education, Learning Pods provide an important opportunity for integration, expanding the home-based learning experience with new perspectives and methods. They also enrich the educational journey by combining social interaction with personalized learning, ensuring a perfect balance between individual and collective growth.
The Learning Pods organized by the Libera Schola Foundation are not schools; they are educational sessions designed to offer children and adolescents a space for learning and socializing without disrupting family routines.
Sessions take place a few mornings each week, allowing families the freedom to organize the rest of their day according to their needs. These flexible groups enable participants to manage activities collaboratively under the guidance of qualified educators, without the rigidity of a standard school schedule. It’s an opportunity for children to experience self-directed learning in a safe, stimulating environment.
The sessions will be held in libraries and outdoors—ideal settings to encourage focus and provide access to educational resources. This approach offers Learning Pods the perfect balance between flexibility and social interaction, creating group experiences that children and teens alike find enriching and enjoyable.
Discover the Benefits of Learning Pods.
Children and teens engaged in home education can find in Learning Pods a valuable opportunity to build and nurture friendships with others who share similar experiences. These groups provide not only a learning space but also a precious chance to develop friendships and enhance social skills, helping to overcome the challenges
of isolation sometimes associated with homeschooling.
Through teamwork in Learning Pods,
young people have the chance to develop essential skills such as cooperation, communication, and problem-solving. These collaborative experiences not only enhance their ability to work with others but also foster a sense of responsibility and adaptability. By learning to communicate effectively and support one another, they gain valuable skills that will serve them well in future academic, social, and professional settings.
Libraries hosting Learning Pods provide unique educational resources, enriching the learning experience with engaging, hands-on activities. We select facilities that have nearby green spaces, allowing children and teens to spend time outdoors.
Learning Pods allow parents to share educational responsibilities and get to know one another, giving them more time and flexibility for other activities. Together, we as parents can achieve results that would be challenging to accomplish alone, harnessing the strength of the group.
Participating in Learning Pods allows families to reduce educational costs by sharing materials, resources, and organizing group activities like trips and workshops, which would otherwise be less accessible or more expensive.
The foundation is committed to carefully training the staff who lead the Learning Pods, ensuring that educators are not only experts in their subjects but also skilled at creating an inclusive and stimulating environment. One of our primary goals is to foster the cognitive and emotional development of participants.
We believe that personalized and inclusive education is critical to the future.
