Howard County Homeschooling
We understand that styles and philosophies vary among homeschooling families. That’s why we provide extracurricular activities and offer an a-la-carte, supplemental approach. We host social events and field trips that support and enrich what’s already taught in the home.
We’re the place for involved parents who value education; bringing together homeschooled children to enjoy enrichment classes and group social activities.
Our supplemental program includes classes such as foreign language, chess and woodshop, alongside play dates, competitions and social outings. We give your child an opportunity to connect with peers in a group setting on a regular basis!
We have a balanced demographic of students. The majority are between ages 5 and 12 years old. Our Meetup group includes 40+ families from all faiths and religious backgrounds.
Since our founding in November 2014, we’ve been a resource to 100s of local homeschooling families. If you’d like to join a community of involved and like-minded parents and provide your child a place to flourish and learn in a group setting, join our Meetup group to attend social events, field trips and our annual open house event (August).
