Welcome to the shop
The VoSKILL Shop is a small-group build environment where students learn tool use & safety, real skills, and real confidence-by building.
The Shop is organized by grade and readiness level. Builders work alongside peers at a similar stage and grow through increasing responsibility.
REal tools. REal Confidence
Flexible Shop model
Built for Real Life Schedules
The Shop does not run like traditional weekly class.
We operate in open blocks — designated time windows for Juniors and Crew — where builders purchase access and attend within any of those windows.
No fixed weekly commitments. No locked-in semester schedules.
How it works
• Juniors and Crew each have dedicated open shop blocks
• Builders purchase access to a specific Builder Group
• Arrival time is flexible within that window
• Projects are structured and supervised
• Builders work at their own pace toward completion
The time is flexible. The standards are not.
What That Means for Families
You don’t have to choose between shop and soccer, appointments, or life.
If a builder can attend part of a block, they work.
If they need to leave early, they leave.
If they need multiple sessions to complete a build, they return.
No guilt. No rigid attendance rules. No falling behind.
Just real building inside a structured environment.
Open shop blocks. Structured mentorship. Real progress.
Choose Your Builder group
