Practical learning.
Room for curiosity.
Online experiences that connect what learners discover with what they can do.
Beginning with a plant.
Growing from there.
Marion Learning Academy is developing practical online learning experiences across botany, herbalism, digital skills, and family history, with programs planned for learners from kindergarten through adulthood.
Our first course, Herbal Explorer: From Plant to Balm, is designed for grades 3–8. It brings plant observation, measurement, and making together in four live classes.
Meet your first instructor
Brenda Deming is a Master Herbalist, homeschooling mother, and founder of GeoBlends. She created the Herbal Explorer Field Journal and will teach the founding course live.
Built with founding families
The first group’s questions and feedback will help refine the course. Brenda provides the learning path; families help reveal which explanations, activities, and resources make the experience work best.
Our first live class is taking shape.
