Empower your children to pursue their passions and explore their interests
HomeLearners Network provides a unique online space for kids and families who are passionate about learning together. We offer a collection of STEAM-based hands-on activities designed to ignite kids’ passions, linking fingers to brains and fostering real-time connections. By engaging in our interactive platform, kids and their families can explore their interests while connecting with others in a supportive and fun environment.
We also offer an inclusive environment where your child, family and friends can belong, learn and have fun.
HomeLearners Network activities are FREE for all SelfDesign Learning Community and SelfDesign Home Learning learners and families.
“The variety of fun learning classes that truly took a lot of pressure off me as a parent knowing my kids had this learning available to them at their fingertips to choose from classes of interest that they found educational and enjoyable!”
– Jessica, Parent

We’ve been champions of home learning for 40 years!
HomeLearners Network is the latest SelfDesign Learning Foundation program and is fueled by SelfDesign’s 40 years of experience in providing home learning opportunities and resources to tens of thousands of children. We’ve been championing innovative child-centred learning since 1984!
“My son really enjoyed the Video Game Design and 3D Video Game Design classes. He was able to participate without adult supervision which for him (as an autistic person), especially in an online setting, is a new experience. He enjoyed the fact that his video didn’t need to be on and that he didn’t have to talk if he didn’t want to. That helped him a lot to be able to participate and engage without stress.”
– Anita, Parent
