The Generator is now a hosting hub for home schooled students, grades 5 through 12.

According to a press release, the hub is offering a space for learning, EAST/Project-Based Learning, and fun physical activities.

“The Generator will serve as a place where home schooled students can learn and play freely,” said Go Forward Pine Bluff’s Public Relations Coordinator Lauren Lawson. “Parents don’t have to spend a lot of money to have an educational and inspiring school experience for their children.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of parents who chose to home-school their kids grew considerably due to the upheavals that schools and families have endured over the past two years. Overall, the proportion of American families home-schooling at least one child grew from 5.4% in spring 2020 to 11.1% in fall 2021, according to a U.S. Census Bureau analysis.
