About

Welcome to Inspire Studios, a family-owned, education center offering homeschool classes, music lessons, musical theatre, and private tutoring. Since 2008, we've been proudly serving the Tampa Bay community, offering a holistic approach to education that prioritizes creativity, individualized learning, and hands-on exploration.

Our Philosophy

We believe in providing a secular education that respects and welcomes families of all faiths. While we do not incorporate faith-based curriculum into our teaching, we celebrate the diversity of our community and embrace each family's unique approach to educating.
What Makes Inspire Studios Unique
  • Creative Learning: Our curriculum focuses on core enrichment and creative learning, with a strong emphasis on music, arts, and STEM.
  • Flexible Learning Environment: In addition to the programs we offer for early learning and middle school aged kids, we offer core credit and elective classes for high schoolers, allowing students to learn at their own pace and explore their interests in a supportive and engaging environment.
  • Microschool Setting: With a small student base and mixed-grade levels, our microschool environment fosters collaboration, mentorship, and a sense of community among students.

  • Inspired by Waldorf and Montessori: We embrace elements from Waldorf and Montessori educational approaches, integrating their methodologies to foster intellectual, artistic, and practical skills development. Our curriculum also emphasizes imagination, creativity, and respect for diverse cultures, while celebrating the unique abilities of each student, promoting a deep understanding and appreciation of our shared humanity.

Meet The Owners

​Inspire Studios was created by musical wellness educators Jason and Cristine Rhodes. "There are four elements to Inspire Studios; our homeschool classes, music lessons, private tutoring, and musical theatre program. Each element was inspired by our own children. Combining our experience teaching music and arts, along with homeschooling our children, including a son with autism, we created a place where all children, regardless of age or ability, can go to find, explore, and further their creative educational journey. Whether you come to learn an instrument, become a member of our homeschool family, or perform on stage, Inspire is the place to suit your needs."​
