Homeschool Programs
with Step Up for Students
Step Up for Students is a nonprofit organization in Florida that helps families access a variety of K-12 education scholarships, giving students more choice in how they learn.
Because DreamCatcher Horse Rescue is a registered provider (or partner) with Step Up, students using their Step Up scholarship can apply their funds toward riding lessons, or participate in our Horsin’ Around Grooming & Handling Club. This offers a unique, experiential learning opportunity that blends horsemanship with life skills—all supported through their scholarship.
