Fall 2011
Primary (Grades K-6)
Springing from the experience of earlier efforts, this fall will see the voluntary collaboration of area homeschooling parents for a zero-cost, once a week co-operative specifically geared towards community-orientated educational subjects. This curriculum will likely include:
- Music
- Humanities (history and literature)
- Etiquette and Feasting
- Group Games and Recreation
We are excited about the supplemental benefit this social opportunity will add to the independent household programs, and are excited at the prospect of seeing our merry band grow!! 
Secondary (Grades 7+)
Due to a minimal number students, no Secondary courses are anticipated at this time. However, secondary students are very welcome to participate in the group events above. If you are interested in helping develop our secondary offerings, please contact us.
