Kids Trades Academy partners with homeschool co-ops, microschools, businesses and community organizations across North Texas. This is our working directory of potential partners — a place we send families to discover great programs, and where great programs send families to find hands-on trades education.
Community partners host KTA programs for their families. Industry partners sponsor the labs, tools and scholarships that keep the workshop running.
Community Partners
Co-ops, microschools & homeschool groups
KTA delivers the whole shop program — instructors, tools, materials, curriculum, safety systems and student Passports. Your community brings the students, the space and the schedule.
Put your name on the next generation of skilled workers. Lab naming rights, tool sponsorships, scholarships and workforce pipeline programs across North Dallas.
Sponsor a Lab — name a workshop zone
Tools Partner — equip a professional tool station
Scholarship Partner — fund seats for local families
Workforce Partner — guest instructors and site visits
A working list of homeschool communities, co-ops, resource centers, directories and market models KTA is building with. We send families to their programs — they introduce our hands-on labs to theirs. Much bigger than selling classes.
Advocacy & Statewide
01
Potential Partner
Texas Home School Coalition (THSC)
Statewide · Texas
Texas' statewide homeschool association — advocacy, events, and the 'Find a Local Group' directory North Texas families use to discover co-ops. A natural hub for connecting member families with hands-on trades programs.
A McKinney homeschool community offering weekly co-op classes, field trips and enrichment for elementary through high school. KTA pursues them as a community partner hosting hands-on workshops rather than joining their core academic structure.
A Rockwall-area Christian homeschool co-op on the fast-growing northeast corridor. A Mobile KTA build day slots straight into their enrichment calendar.
Weekly classical communities across Collin and Denton counties. After-community build workshops give their families a hands-on counterweight to a classical academic day.
A fine-arts enrichment network for Collin County homeschoolers. Arts families are strong enrichment buyers, and trade skills add a STEM counterweight to the arts mix.
A Christian 501(c)(3) support group serving Collin and Denton counties. Mobile workshops fill their field-trip calendar, with partner spotlights in their communications.
A parent-led McKinney homeschool community serving pre-K through high school with rotating STEM and other enrichment classes. A KTA Mobile Trades Lab pop-up workshop day brings the trailer straight to their families — no drive needed.
Serves homeschool students ages 4–12 in Plano with core days and dedicated enrichment-only days — classes capped at 12 students and enrolling for 2026–27. Practically built for the KTA model: a weekly KTA Build Lab could live inside their enrichment calendar.
An active McKinney support organization with co-op sessions, clubs and field trips. A mobile workshop day is a ready-made field-trip slot for their members.
N-Tech (North Texas Enrichment Classes for Homeschoolers)
Plano, Allen, McKinney & Frisco
A Christian enrichment co-op serving K-12 families across North Texas since 1999. Mobile KTA STEM and trades workshops work as an enrichment class block.
A Christ-centered enrichment and academic co-op. A trade-skills class block fits within their existing co-op schedule and gives members a new skill path.
PEACH (Plano Educational Association of Christian Homeschoolers)
Plano & Collin County
A long-running Plano-area association that publishes a local co-op and support-group directory. Vendor tables and newsletter features reach engaged parents directly.
A long-running association meeting in Plano with weekly academic and enrichment programming led by parents and teachers. Trades and practical maker education fit directly into their elective model.
SAIL Homeschoolers (Collin County Homeschoolers Sharing Adventures in Learning)
McKinney & Collin County
A member-governed, inclusive co-op based in McKinney running classes, clubs and activities. Trade-skills enrichment workshops fit neatly inside the co-op term.
A large homeschool resource center in Plano hosting classes Monday through Thursday. On-site Mobile KTA workshop days and a signup table reach families every week.
A regional directory currently cataloging 500+ homeschool opportunities — roughly 180 academic offerings, 206 enrichment options and 137 community organizations, including 51 McKinney, 35 Frisco, 34 Plano and 15 Allen listings. Getting KTA listed is low-hanging acquisition infrastructure.
Runs dedicated homeschool PE sessions across North Texas — McKinney, Frisco, Little Elm, Prosper, The Colony, Denton, Grapevine and more. Proof of the model KTA follows: a specialized provider, daytime homeschool schedules and multiple community locations on a rotating weekly calendar.
A commercial STEM enrichment center advertising homeschool programs alongside camps and birthday parties — market validation that North Texas families buy specialized daytime enrichment. KTA differentiates hard: real tools, real-world systems and skilled trades instead of screens and science kits.
