We are homeschool in community - a secular collaboration between learners, experienced educators, parents, families, and the place where we live.
We welcome ALL, practice radical inclusion, and celebrate diversity.
Our work and learning together reach beyond single classes.
Our offerings include Montessori Schoolhouse meetings, Academic Workshops, Flying Squads, field trips, and connections with experienced educators and specialists.
We are delighted to sponsor a local Kids for Peace Club, The Bead Project (a kid-led non-profit), and share a complete Community Calendar.
We all seek the best-fit education for and with our children. Not everyone can take on homeschooling full-time or wishes to go at it alone. As experienced, certified educators, we are uniquely equipped to support the entire family and serve as your homeschool tutor. We also partner with you to keep records, report to the state, problem-solve, and design schedules and learning goals that are just right.
In our community, we trust the human spirit and celebrate all learning and all learners. We practice grace, courtesy, and respect. We know that learning stops under stress and that curiosity thrives when there is clarity. Our community provides freedom with meaningful support. This means that character and self-love are nurtured in a warm working environment.
We align our practice with Montessori and self-directed learning philosophies and invest daily in mindful moments, journaling, and nature study. We have a comprehensive understanding of resources and enjoy sharing the best from Waldorf, Mason, Dewey and the rest in our space. We're also available to support with frameworks and materials to ensure continued progress towards personal goals.
The Schoolhouse is located alongside our home on an acre on a residential street near downtown Wake Forest. It is a place where children are trusted to design and engage in learning and exploration. The space that we share is carefully created to provide access to meaningful materials, foster self-direction, and encourage cooperative learning with others.
All of us learn the most from those with experiences different from our own. In a multi-age setting, we share have opportunities to mentor and develop trusting relationships with both younger and older participants. This helps us to keep the peace and elevate learning for all.
While we don't give grades, we do foster growth - and we do share records of our work together in journals, portfolios, and projects. We invest in interest and fascination and have fundamental academic lessons at the ready when we're ready for them.
We share gatherings, events, communication, student portfolios, announcements and celebrations for all members across the year. Check out our Calendar to peek and plan to join in.
