How Recess folds in
Recess brings the cohort. We fold the pathway around it.
Three things the network adds on top of what your kid already loves about Recess.
Why we love Recess
Live cohorts, real guides, daily social hour.
Recess runs small, live, Zoom-based hobby clubs with adult guides who actually know the kids. It's the daily social anchor a lot of homeschool and hybrid families have been missing.
Accreditation + transcript
Recess is the cohort. We're the school of record.
Cognia K-12 private school in good standing. Real transcripts, real diploma path — fully recognized by colleges and the state.
Curiosity Crates
Real boxes in the mail, picked for what they're building on Recess.
Every Talent School student gets Curiosity Crates — physical supply kits matched to their pathway and Core Spark. Whatever they're working on in their Recess cohort, we ship the supplies that make it real.
How it fits together
One student. One pathway. Everything counted.

The energy your kid brings home from Recess.
Real parent quotes pulled directly from recess.gg. Talent School builds on top of this — same friends, same projects, now an school of record.
“Jack brings a computer on every vacation, he “can’t” miss Recess. This has been life changing.”
January, Mom · Montana
“When I’m home to see her come out of her room after recess — she’s got pep and becomes more talkative. Last week, she let slip the words “I like building things.””
Melanie, Mom · Canada
“I want to thank you all at Recess for being so welcoming and encouraging to Sarran. His confidence has really grown over the past few months.”
Kizzy, Mom · U.S.
