Fitness & tumbling
Strength, balance and agility in a real gym, with coaches who make hard work feel like play.
Begin your hero's journey.
A homeschool co-op and kids' classes where children learn real-life hero skills from first responders, coaches and teachers: fitness, self-defense, rescue, and the stories that teach character. Peoria, Mesa and Prescott, Arizona.
Arizona ESA accepted. Hero Training Center is a ClassWallet vendor.
What kids learn here
Rally Saber
HERO's sword-fighting sport: footwork, control and respect for your opponent, with padded sabers.
Rescue & life-saving
CPR and AED, first aid, and what to do when someone needs help, taught with local fire and police.
Self-defense & emergency readiness
Staying aware, staying calm, and knowing how to get safe and get help.
Hero Character
What makes a hero a hero: one principle of the Hero Code each week, with a story from myth, folklore or real life to show what courage, honesty and fairness look like.
Academics with heart
History, geography, finance, the human body, music and art, taught in small groups by people who love the subject.
A co-op day
Co-op runs from 10 to 2. Children work in small groups by age (4 to 6, 7 to 9, and 10 and up). A narrated soundtrack and a bell move the day along through Hero Character, Hero Skills and Fitness rotations, then an elective block, lunch and open play, and the Assembly to close, where the whole group gathers before heading home.

Parents say
Know thyself
Every hero's journey starts with knowing who you are. The Archetype Atlas and the Hero Houses are HERO's way of talking about that: a map, not a verdict. The Atlas is grounded in the HEXACO model of personality, and the Houses give children a story to grow into. Nothing here is a diagnosis, and no answer is wrong. Adults can try the Archetype Finder; children can explore the House Compass together with a parent.
