Project-based online courses in carpentry, electrical basics, and construction math — created for homeschoolers, by a homeschool Dad and contractor.
I’m a homeschool dad and contractor who has spent years teaching my own teens the trades. From building furniture to tackling real repair jobs, I’ve seen firsthand how learning these skills gives young people confidence and independence.
Contractor Academy was born out of that same passion—to pass down practical skills to the next generation. Whether your teen dreams of a trade career or just wants to be more capable at home, these courses give them the know-how to measure, cut, build, and solve problems for life.
