Add structured physical activity to your homeschool routine with skating, creative movement, and performance experiences that keep students actively involved.
Synthetic Ice-Skating For Schools Field Trip Program
Theatre On Skates Academy offers a Learn to Skate program designed to accommodate schools, churches and/or businesses that are interested in hosting classes and/or musical show performances at their locations and/or field trips.
Make Movement a Meaningful Part of Learning
Finding physical education activities that are structured, engaging, and different from everyday exercise can be challenging for homeschool families. Our homeschool skating programs give students an opportunity to develop skating fundamentals while staying active through movement-based instruction. Lessons can also incorporate elements of acting, singing, and dancing, creating an experience that connects physical activity with the performing arts.

Build Skating Skills Through Active PE
Physical education is more meaningful when students can work toward skills they can see and experience for themselves. Our homeschool PE and skating programs in Michigan City introduce foundational skating techniques through structured activities that develop balance, coordination and body control. Students learn progressively while receiving guidance that helps them understand each new movement. This approach gives homeschool families a practical way to add purposeful physical activity to their educational routine.

- Practise foundational skating movements
- Improve coordination and body awareness
- Stay active through structured sessions

Connect Skating With the Performing Arts
Our homeschool skating programs can extend beyond technical skating by introducing students to the performance side of Theatre On Skates Academy. Acting, singing and dancing can be incorporated alongside movement on skates, giving students opportunities to explore how different performing arts work together. Students can practise sequences and develop their presentation skills as they prepare to demonstrate what they have learned. The combination creates a varied experience for children who enjoy both physical and creative activities.
- Explore acting through character work
- Combine music with physical movement
- Practise simple performance sequences
- Develop presentation skills through rehearsal
- Apply learned skills during performances
Bring a Synthetic Ice Experience to Your Group
Theatre On Skates Academy can bring skating beyond its regular program setting through synthetic ice skating field trips for schools and hosted programs. Our synthetic flooring does not require water, refrigeration equipment, or ice resurfacing machines, allowing a temporary skating surface to be installed on a suitable flat area. A surface of approximately 16' x 16' can be transported and set up at qualifying locations. Skates are provided, making the experience more accessible for participating students.
- Host skating at a suitable facility
- Use a portable synthetic skating surface
- Avoid refrigerated rink requirements
- Provide skates for participating students
- Introduce groups to skating and performance
An Eight-Week Program With a Goal to Work Toward
Schools and eligible groups can explore an eight-week session that introduces basic skills in skating and theatre. Students work with elements of acting, singing, and dancing as they develop their abilities throughout the program. At the end of the session, a performance assessment provides an opportunity to evaluate the skills learned. Participants receive a certificate of participation along with a certificate of achievement award.
