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 support and enrich what’s already taught in the home.
We’re an incorporated non-profit organization with a staff of screened volunteers and parents. Our goal is to deliver high-quality tutelage and fun social events because we value education and socialization.
Our mission is to provide a communal space for homeschooling families to educate and socialize their children in a nature-based classroom environment.
Our supplemental program includes foreign language, arts and sciences, alongside group field trips, play dates and social events. We give homeschoolers an opportunity to connect with peers on a regular basis because we recognize that building friendships is an essential part of a child’s healthy development.
The majority of our students are age 5 thru 12 years old. Our Meetup group includes 100+ families from all faiths and religious backgrounds.
On co-op days (Wednesdays and Fridays) students work under the supervision of a parent teacher and classroom assistant. Throughout the year, HCHC families are part of a community that connects with regularity on a monthly (if not weekly) basis.
CLICK HERE to become a co-op member and secure a seat for your child in our 16-week supplemental program. All classes are $10/per.
On Wednesdays classes meet at the Miller Branch Library (Study Room 148) , located at 9421 Frederick Road in Ellicott City, MD 21042.
On Fridays classes meet at the Christ Episcopal Church (New Brick), located at 6800 Oakland Mills Road in Columbia, MD 21045
Howard County Homeschooling Cooperative (HCHC) is a secular 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to provide a communal space for homeschooling families to educate and socialize their children in a nature-based, classroom environment.
