ABOUT US
The High-Altitude Club was born from a personal need I recognized in 2016 for my own daughter. As I embarked on the homeschooling journey, I saw the importance of not only providing a solid academic foundation but also nurturing social skills, emotional development, and practical life experiences. My goal was to create a safe, supportive environment where children could thrive both intellectually and socially.
​
As a homeschooling mother of three, I quickly realized that each child has unique needs, and I wanted a program that would cater to them holistically. I envisioned an educational experience that went beyond traditional learning – one that fostered emotional growth, social interactions, and real-world skills, all while ensuring the security and care every child deserves.
​
From these early beginnings, the idea for The High-Altitude Club took flight. Over time, it evolved through planning, personal experience, and invaluable feedback from families. What started as a solution for my children became a passion for creating an enriching, comprehensive program for others. Today, The High-Altitude Club is a community where children can grow, learn, and build lifelong skills in a nurturing and engaging environment.
​
Our mission is simple: to provide a well-rounded educational experience that supports every aspect of a child’s development. We believe in fostering a love of learning, curiosity, and joy in every child who joins our community.

Hello! My name is Whitney Shorts, and I am delighted to introduce myself to you. I am a devoted wife and mom of three wonderful children. With over a decade of experience in child care and early childhood education, I have spent the last 7 years homeschooling my own children, striving to provide them with a rich, holistic education.
​
My journey in child care began in various child care centers, where I honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of early childhood development. I get to enjoy planning and organizing numerous gatherings, events, trips, and special moments, creating opportunities for families to connect and enjoy quality time together.
​
Beyond my professional experience, I am passionate about the simple joys of life. I find immense beauty in sunsets, have a keen interest in baby animals, and love flowers. Movies provide a great source of entertainment and relaxation for our family too, but my greatest joy comes from volunteering my time to help others learn about the Bible.​​
​
Through The High Altitude Program, I aim to share my love for learning and passion for education. I look forward to creating memorable experiences for your children and supporting their educational journey in a nurturing and engaging environment.
​
Thank you for considering The High Altitude Program. I am excited to be part of your child's growth and development.
​
Love and Hugs,

Whitney Shorts
