2026-2027 School Year

CONNECTIONS is an enrichment co-op focusing on arts and sciences, emphasizing community and working together to foster meaningful relationships in a family-friendly environment. Our optional nature program & monthly hikes serve to encourage environmental education and a love of the outdoors.

Co-op

What do we learn? Our year is divided into 4 educational themes, like unit studies. Activities center around hands-on experiences, problem-solving, & cooperative team-building opportunities. Check out our educational themes for 2026/2027

We are blessed with some amazingly talented parents who offer additional special classes, such as art and music. When offered, student groups will rotate through these extra classes.

Connections co-op is based on biblical principles, and educational topics may be taught from a Christian worldview while welcoming respectful discussion of other worldviews. Members are not required to be Christian or sign a statement of faith.

Who can join?

Are you a motivated homeschool parent, looking for a fun, engaged, and supportive community for yourself and your kids? We are especially interested in serving the local teen & tween homeschool community & we are special needs friendly. We’d love to meet you!

Families must be officially homeschooling at least 1 student in Kindergarten or older, following their state’s Home Education Law. We are currently unable to accept students attending public online charter schools (however, we would love for you to join us for other meetups and field trips!).

Parents are expected to help plan and facilitate group activities with other parent volunteers. Duties may include setting up before class time, cleaning and resetting the rooms at the end of the day, supervising students, planning, and leading activities. We work together to make the load light!

Explorers Club

Explorers Club is a Charlotte Mason-style nature study program designed to engage families in hands-on learning about the world around them. Meeting once a month, the club provides opportunities for participants of all ages (pre-school to high school) to explore, learn, and connect with nature while gaining valuable skills for appreciating the natural world and understanding the importance of environmental conservation.
