Learning by doing, guided by wonder.

Welcome to Isle Royale Academy — our homeschool named in honor of the wild and water of Isle Royale National Park, located in the far reaches of Lake Superior. We blend classical studies, hands-on projects, and outdoor skills.

Alongside classical studies, students explore coding in Blender and Fusion 360, 3D printing, and small-scale circuitry — all woven into the real work of building a home, managing land, and applying robotics and automation processes to agriculture.
