Learning in a Group Setting

We are truly delighted to serve homeschool families and want all students to have a positive, successful experience. Our classes are designed as group-learning environments, which means we are not always able to provide the same level of individualized accommodation that may be possible at home.

Group learning requires certain behavioral skills. We are happy to work with parents to explore strategies that may support a student’s participation. However, if a student is unable to meet these expectations, they may not be able to attend classes.

For this reason, we ask parents to consider their child’s successful experience in similar group settings, such as library programs, Sunday school, co-ops, or camps, when making enrollment decisions.

Please read class descriptions carefully and consider whether common group-learning challenges may affect your child’s ability to participate successfully.

Please note: tuition cannot be refunded if a student is unable to attend.
