Learning Pods for Homeschoolers

A New Way to Learn Together

What is a Libera Schola Learning Pod?"

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.

Why Choose

Learning Pods?

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.
