About
Why “Creation Acre” for the name?
The “Creation” part comes from the fact that we are project-based. Students get to plan, implement, and create projects that spark their curiosity and capture their attention. We believe structure is important, but we also want to give students a say in their educational pathways.
Some of the ways we do this include Socratic discussions, student-led small groups, and student-teaching opportunities.
The property is on about 1.5 acres of land, so that’s where the “Acre” part is derived. Our plan is to turn this into a nature-themed sensory play area with trails and an outdoor classroom.
We appreciate you considering us to walk along this education journey with you!

About the Founders
Hi there, we’re a homeschooling family with four amazing kids, all with wildly different personalities and learning types. We’ve always homeschooled, and it’s been a fulfilling and challenging journey. In 2021 we moved to Mint Hill after living in the Ballantyne area of Charlotte for about eight years. One thing we quickly noticed was the lack of local homeschool programs in comparison.
I (Jasmine) absolutely love teaching and have had some wonderful teaching roles over the past five years, including teaching in the Brace YMCA homeschool program and leading the youth ministry of a small local church in Charlotte. I’m currently pursuing a master’s in biblical studies, and I really love teaching the Bible. My husband Akeem is a coding expert and a director of web development.
We took a leap of faith and decided to purchase a house in downtown Mint Hill to convert to an academic enrichment program. We would love to see Creation Acre become a place where kids can find their voice. While we will offer classes in cooking, digital arts, Christian apologetics, and more, we desire to be a student-led, project-based organization.
