2-Day Academics
Forging Education supports a growing network of 2-Day Academics opportunities designed to complement homeschooling families through structured on-campus instruction and educational support. Depending on location, campuses may offer publicly supported enrichment opportunities through Enrich Colorado, optional community-supported opportunities through Heritage, and additional locally coordinated educational experiences.
Inspired by classical educational practices, 2-Day Academics provides structured learning opportunities in core academic areas—including math, science, literature, writing, and history—while encouraging critical thinking, character development, and a lifelong love of learning. Programs are designed to support a variety of homeschool approaches and may vary by campus and participation pathway.

How the 2-Day Academic
2-Day Academics is designed to support homeschooling families through flexible educational opportunities that may vary by campus and student eligibility.
Some students may participate in publicly supported enrichment opportunities offered through Enrich Colorado and approved authorizers. These opportunities provide structured academic instruction in eligible subject areas and are available at no cost to qualifying homeschool families.
Many campuses may also offer separate optional community-supported opportunities designed through Heritage Education Alliance and operated by Forging Education. These opportunities provide additional educational experiences and are made possible through voluntary community support and donations.
Participation in community-supported opportunities is separate from participation in publicly supported enrichment opportunities and is not required to access publicly supported educational services.
Students typically attend on-campus learning opportunities two days per week and continue their educational plan at home on remaining days, allowing for flexibility, parent involvement, and meaningful learning experiences.
